Are these buildings guaranteed to be rent-regulated or have specific tenant protections?

No. This page filters by building age and commute proximity, not by rent regulation status. Check the lease terms and the building’s rent history details directly with the landlord or management.

What should I confirm before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Ask about systems (heat/hot water, plumbing, and any recent upgrades), pest-control practices, maintenance responsiveness, noise, and whether the unit matches what’s advertised.

Will fees or monthly costs be limited to the asking rent?

No. Review the full monthly cost picture, including any broker fees, deposits, and utilities or utility responsibilities that may apply in addition to rent.
