It means the building was constructed before 1947. Since older buildings can differ a lot by management and upkeep, use the building page details and tenant Q&A to confirm what’s true for the specific address.

This page groups buildings that match the S79-SBS bus proximity filter within the Staten Island scope. You should still verify the walk time and stop you’ll use for your daily routine.

No. This filter is about building age (pre-war) and transit proximity (S79-SBS). It does not indicate rent regulation, subsidies, NYCHA status, or Section 8.

Start with the building page to review tenant Q&A and review-based signals, then compile a short list of questions for the leasing agent. Tenant-reported experiences help you know what to ask, but you should confirm current conditions directly.

Ask about heat and hot water reliability, building maintenance cadence, noise management (street/stop proximity), elevator or stair access, laundry setup, and any recent building-wide repairs that affect day-to-day comfort.

Not always. Service frequency, wait times, and your exact start/stop can change your commute. Use the filter as a starting point, then verify your route during the times you’d actually travel.
