Buildings highly rated for heat near the B26 bus in Boerum Hill

It’s a filter that surfaces buildings that Openigloo has flagged as performing well on heat. Use the page to shortlist, then verify the heating system details and maintenance process directly with the building.

No. Heat performance can vary by unit and exposure, even within the same building. Treat it as a shortlist signal and verify your specific unit’s heating setup, radiator condition (if applicable), and control options.

Ask what’s included in the lease, who controls the thermostat (if any), how heat complaints are logged and resolved, and whether maintenance calls are handled by management or a building team. Get answers in writing when possible.

The B26 filter is about location/commute proximity. The heat outcome still depends on the building, but you should also factor in street conditions, building access routes, and noise that can affect comfort.

Yes. Even if a building is flagged for strong heat, confirm what utilities are included versus tenant-paid, and account for the full monthly cost (utilities, deposits, and any applicable move-in fees).
