What does “pre-war” mean on this page?

Pre-war means the building was built before 1947. Use this as a search filter, then confirm the unit’s condition and any recent upgrades with the building before you commit.

How does the “Q40 bus” part of the filter work?

It narrows buildings to the Jamaica area that are near the Q40 bus corridor. Still, stop locations and walking distance vary by block, so verify the closest stop to the unit you’re considering.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

Openigloo currently shows 850+ buildings that match the pre-war + Q40 bus filter pair in Jamaica, Queens.

Are the ratings on Openigloo enough to judge building condition?

No. Use ratings as one signal, then rely on direct questions to the building and any unit-specific walkthrough details. The page’s rated-building signals reflect rated buildings, not every building on the map.

What should I ask about in a pre-war building before touring?

Ask about heating and hot water performance, building maintenance responsiveness, any known recurring issues, and what changes have been made to electrical/plumbing over time.

Is there any way to cross-check tenant experiences beyond ratings?

Yes. Use tenant Q&A and building conversations on Openigloo to see patterns renters mention, then ask follow-up questions tailored to your unit and lease timeline.

Hunters Point with 2,110+ buildings; Ridgewood with 3,826+ buildings; Sunnyside with 1,960+ buildings; Ditmars-Steinway with 2,222+ buildings; Forest Hills with 1,363+ buildings.
