Pre-war is about building age, not guarantees. Some older buildings have fewer amenities or different maintenance patterns than newer buildings, so confirm elevator status, laundry, storage, and any ongoing work before signing.

Ask for the full cost breakdown (rent plus any required deposit, fees, and broker-related costs if applicable), which utilities are included, pet rules (if relevant), and the written lease terms for renewal and any fees.

Openigloo uses review and open-data signals to help you compare. Those signals can lag real-world conditions, so treat them as a starting point and confirm current status with the leasing office.

Look for recurring themes that match what you care about (maintenance, responsiveness, common fees, and day-to-day usability). Then ask targeted follow-ups about the specific unit you’re considering.
