No. It’s a location-based scope centered on that school area, so the buildings are within the selected search radius, not necessarily on the same block or property line.

Not automatically. The pre-war filter only narrows by construction era. You’ll still want to confirm current conditions (heating, water pressure, pests, elevator reliability) directly with the super or managing agent.

Ask for the exact lease term, renewal/termination process, and how rent changes work (including whether the unit is rent-stabilized). Request these details in writing so you can compare offers apples-to-apples.

Openigloo can surface helpful open-data context and renter experiences, but it can’t replace an in-person walkthrough. Use it to guide questions, then verify specifics during the showing.

Confirm the deposit and any broker fee requirements, and clarify which utilities are included versus paid separately. Older buildings can vary in how costs are split.
