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

It’s a building-level signal based on Openigloo heat-related information, intended to help you focus on buildings with stronger heat performance than average. You should still confirm the specific heating setup and controls listed for your exact unit.

How does the “R-train” part of the filter work?

It targets buildings that are positioned for access to the R train within Bay Ridge. Use it to shortlist commute-friendly locations, then verify the route and walking time from the building to your common stop.

Are these buildings only in one part of Bay Ridge?

No—this page is scoped to Bay Ridge as a neighborhood. Use the building pages to check the exact cross streets and nearest R train stop for your route.

What should I ask the landlord or super about heat before I sign?

Ask whether heat and hot water are included, how the system is controlled, typical winter comfort levels, and how maintenance handles heating complaints. If the building has rules for thermostat settings, request them in writing.

Does a high rating guarantee the unit will be warm every winter?

No. Ratings and heat signals reflect patterns, but individual units and personal comfort needs can differ. Confirm the heating setup for the specific unit and clarify how the building responds to temperature issues.

Is this page about income-restricted or subsidized housing?

No. This filter is about heat performance and R-train convenience, not income-restricted housing, and it is not subsidized housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8. It is also not a housing-lottery program.
