What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the BM5 bus in Richmond Hill

  • Expect a mix of older walk-up and elevator buildings typical of pre-war stock; confirm the exact building type and current unit layout before applying.
  • Use the BM5-bus filter as a starting point, then verify the walk time and timing to your stops during your real commute hours.
  • Check how heating, hot water, and utilities are handled for each unit (asking rent can miss the full monthly cost).
  • Before signing, confirm lease terms, renewals, and any building-specific move-in requirements directly with management or the super.
  • If you care about practical condition (mold, pests, repairs), use the building’s review and Q&A threads as prompts, then validate in person. A record can lag real-world conditions.
