Usually, yes. “Heat + hot water included” does not necessarily cover electricity for lighting/appliances or gas/electric used for cooking. Ask what’s separate for the exact unit you want.

It can. Some buildings handle hot water and heat differently across unit types or renovations. Use the building page notes and tenant Q&A, and ask the leasing office to confirm for your target apartment.

Ask: (1) whether heat and hot water are included year-round, (2) how maintenance issues are handled for the heating system, (3) whether any utilities are capped or metered, and (4) what utilities are your responsibility in the lease.

Yes. Use renter feedback and the building’s Q&A signals to spot repeat issues or strengths. Treat it as a starting point, then verify operational details directly with the building.

Double-check what’s included in writing in the lease, ask about any exceptions, and confirm utility responsibilities beyond heat and hot water (like electricity and cooking). Also plan for full monthly costs, including broker fees and deposits, not just the asking rent.
