Buildings highly rated for heat near the BX36 bus in the Bronx

It’s an Openigloo filter that prioritizes buildings with strong heat-related signals based on what residents report and how those patterns show up in available data. It’s meant to help you shortlist buildings to ask better questions about heat.

The BX36 filter is used to focus the results to the Bronx locations that fall along the BX36 corridor. Still, “near” can vary by stop, so confirm the walking time from the specific building entrance to your usual stops.

No. Heat outcomes can vary by unit condition, radiator layout, thermostat setup, and maintenance responsiveness. Use the filter to find candidates, then verify heating practices with the building directly.

Ask how heat is monitored, what happens if your unit underheats, who responds after hours, typical repair timelines, and whether there are known hot- or cold-spots by floor or exposure.

Yes. Look for how utilities and heating are described, any terms related to thermostat controls, and whether the building sets expectations for heating schedules or maintenance procedures.

That’s a good instinct. Use Openigloo’s tenant Q&A and review context, then validate with a direct conversation about heating history in the building and the current status of any ongoing maintenance.
