As of 2026-07-07, the page shows 131+ buildings that meet the 3-train + best-heat criteria in Crown Heights.

Does a high heat rating mean the building will always keep my apartment at a specific temperature?

Not automatically. “Best heat” reflects signals in the data, but actual comfort can vary by unit layout, exposure, and radiator/heat controls. Ask the building how heat is managed in the specific apartment you’re considering.

What should I ask about heat before signing a lease?

Ask how heat is controlled in-unit (thermostat vs. building regulation), what happens during extreme cold, average warm-up time after maintenance, and who to contact for heat complaints and response timelines.

Where does the heat data come from, and can conditions change?

Openigloo combines signals from available building information and renter-focused reporting. Conditions can change over time (repairs, staffing, system maintenance), so treat the filter as a shortlist tool and confirm current details with the building.

How do I make sure the “3 train” part works for my routine?

Check the walking route and whether the station entrance you’ll use matches your typical departure time. Two buildings can both be “near the 3” but still differ in real commute time.

Are there any extra steps if I’m moving with a tight schedule?

Yes. Verify which units are currently available, confirm the move-in date and any required deposits, and ask about heat readiness (when the heating system is turned on and tested) before your lease starts.
