Buildings highly rated for heat near the BX26 bus in the Bronx

It’s a building-level heating-performance signal used to rank which buildings tend to do better on heat. Use it as a starting point, then ask the building how heat is delivered and controlled in the specific apartment you’re considering.

The BX26 pairing is about location proximity to the BX26 bus corridor. It doesn’t indicate anything about building quality by itself, so you’ll still want to review heat signals and tenant Q&A for each building.

No. Building heat conditions can vary by apartment, exposure, and how the heating system is maintained. Treat the signal as helpful, and confirm unit-specific details with the landlord before leasing.

Ask about how heat is controlled in your unit, response times for heat complaints, whether utilities are included or billed separately, and whether there are any known seasonal patterns (for example, delays or maintenance windows).

Openigloo’s inputs mix renter-provided information with open-data signals where available. Still, conditions can change, so confirm current heat performance directly with the building.

Concourse with 1,709+ buildings; Fordham with 967+ buildings; University Heights with 836+ buildings; Soundview with 2,493+ buildings; Norwood with 741+ buildings.

Look for repeated themes: whether heat problems are promptly handled, whether residents mention steady temperatures, and what the building does during cold snaps. Then cross-check with utility responsibilities and unit-specific notes.
