What does “best-heat” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a filter designed to highlight buildings with stronger heat performance signals from the data Openigloo tracks. Still, heat can vary by unit, so it’s worth confirming details with the building before applying.

How does the B49 bus filter work?

It narrows the search to buildings located near the B49 bus route. Use it to stay close to your transit line, then rely on “best-heat” to focus on buildings with better heat outcomes.

Do these filters guarantee that every apartment will heat the same?

No. Even within a highly rated building, different units (floor, exposure, layout, and mechanical configuration) can perform differently. Confirm for the specific unit you’re considering.

What should I ask the super or leasing office about heat before signing?

Ask about heat type (radiators vs. forced air), typical start/stop times in the season, recent boiler/HVAC maintenance, how problems are handled, and whether your unit has any known hot/cold issues.

Is heat reliability the same as overall building condition?

Not necessarily. A building can have good heat signals while other maintenance areas vary. Review the building’s broader notes in Openigloo and ask about any issues you care about.

Where does the heat information come from?

Openigloo uses a combination of building-level signals (including reviews) and open-data context where available. For anything time-sensitive—like recent repairs—confirm with management directly.
