What does the “B9 bus” filter mean on this buildings page?

It groups buildings based on proximity to the B9 bus route, so your commute plan stays consistent while you evaluate heating feedback.

What does “best-heat” indicate, and is it the same for every apartment in a building?

“Best-heat” is a filter based on Openigloo performance signals from tenant/resident feedback. Heating can still vary by unit, exposure, or how a building runs maintenance, so you should confirm the specifics for the exact apartment you’re considering.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

There are 30+ buildings currently matching the B9 bus + best-heat filters on Openigloo.

What should I ask the building or super before signing for a heat-focused unit?

Ask about heating controls (thermostat/radiators), recent maintenance history for the heating system, typical response time for heat complaints, and whether any units had recurring issues recently.

Are there extra costs beyond the asking rent I should budget for?

Yes. Even when heat is a strong point, the FULL monthly cost still matters. Confirm what’s included in rent and what utilities you may still owe, plus any deposit or broker-related charges.

Is Openigloo’s heat data based on NYC open records?

Some building signals may come from open-data sources, but this page is primarily driven by Openigloo’s tenant feedback and ratings. Treat it as a starting point and validate with the building for the exact unit.

What if I don’t see feedback for the specific floor or unit type I want?

Use the feedback that’s available, but don’t rely on it alone. Ask targeted questions about the heating setup for your unit type and request any recent work orders or maintenance notes relevant to that system.
