What does the “pre-war” filter mean here?

It means the building is categorized as built before 1947. Because renovations vary a lot, use Openigloo details and tenant Q&A to confirm how the unit is currently maintained.

How does the Q39 bus filter work on this page?

It focuses results on buildings near the Q39 bus corridor so you can prioritize transit access. Still verify the walk route and timing from the exact stop(s) you plan to use.

How can I use Openigloo to evaluate these buildings beyond the photos?

Start with renter reviews and tenant Q&A on each building page. Look for repeated themes (heat reliability, response times, noise) and cross-check with the current building details shown on Openigloo.

Are there typical fees or deposits I should expect when renting pre-war buildings?

They vary by building, but you should confirm application fees, security deposit terms, and any move-in charges listed by the management company before you commit.

What should I ask the landlord or super before applying?

Ask about recent maintenance history for heat/AC, plumbing and water pressure, pest control process, and how repairs are handled day-to-day. If you have specific needs (layout, storage, accessibility), confirm availability early.
