What does the “best-heat” filter mean on Openigloo?

It groups NYC buildings that have been rated highly for heat based on renter feedback tied to heating performance. It’s meant to help you shortlist buildings where heat is less of a recurring problem.

How many buildings match this heat-focused filter?

3,782+ buildings currently match the best-heat filter on Openigloo as of 2026-07-07.

Do the heat ratings apply to every individual apartment in a building?

Not always. The filter reflects building-level patterns from renter feedback, but actual comfort can vary by unit layout, exposure, and how the heating system is balanced across apartments.

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

Ask whether heat is regulated tenant-side or building-side, how heating is managed in shoulder season, how quickly issues are addressed, and whether utilities or any charges affect your monthly cost.

Can I use tenant Q&A to confirm heat responsiveness?

Yes. Look for questions about slow repairs, thermostat behavior, or recurring cold complaints, then check the answers for timelines and consistency. If Q&A is sparse, treat that as a prompt to ask directly.

Is “best-heat” the same as “no-violations” or “no-bedbugs/no-rodents”?

No. This page is specifically focused on heat ratings, not on violation history or pest outcomes. Use additional filters and building notes if you want to screen for those other risk areas.

How reliable is the heat information compared with asking the building directly?

Use it as a starting signal. Ratings and notes can lag what’s happening now, so still verify heat operation for the exact unit, ask about maintenance practices, and request clarity on how heating is handled during winter months.
