Pre-war buildings near the Staten Island Railway in Silver Lake

“Pre-war” means the building is built before 1947. Use this as a screening filter, then confirm current condition and the status of major systems directly with the management or super.

This filter is meant to surface buildings located near the Staten Island Railway stops. It’s a practical starting point, but you should still confirm the exact walking/transfer time from the specific address.

Openigloo helps you compare building-level information and renter-shared context through reviews and question-and-answer threads, so you know what to ask about maintenance, approvals, and day-to-day policies.

The filter indicates age, not condition. Some pre-war buildings have solid ongoing maintenance, while others need more diligence. Ask targeted questions about heating, plumbing, mold/water leaks, pest management, and recent upgrades.

Ask about the current heating and hot-water setup, any known building-wide issues, maintenance response times, and whether there are upcoming renovations that could affect utilities, noise, or access.

No. The page filters for proximity to the Staten Island Railway, but real commute time depends on the stop, walking route, and service schedule. Verify from the address you’d lease.
