What does “best heat” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level filter that prioritizes stronger heat performance signals based on Openigloo data. Use it to compare options, then verify the details directly with the building before signing.

How does the “B52 bus” filter affect what I see?

It limits results to buildings near the B52 bus corridor in NYC, so you’re comparing heat performance within that transit area rather than across the whole city.

Do these heat ratings guarantee how my unit will feel in winter?

No. Building-wide signals can’t predict every unit’s experience. Different exposures, insulation, and heating system setups can change comfort, so ask about your specific unit.

What should I ask about heat during a viewing or before applying?

Ask whether heat/hot water are included, how thermostats are controlled, how quickly service requests are handled, and what to expect if radiators or HVAC units need repair.

Are there extra fees or utilities costs tied to heat?

Utilities setup varies by building. Even if the building scores well for heat, your full monthly cost may still depend on whether heat/hot water are included or billed separately, plus deposits and any required fees.

Can tenant Q&A help with heat expectations?

Yes. Tenant Q&A can add day-to-day context (how heat behaves in practice). Use it alongside the score, and compare multiple recent comments when possible.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

Openigloo shows 585+ eligible buildings that match the B52 bus + best-heat multi-filter pair (as of 2026-07-07).
