How does Openigloo decide which buildings are “best” for heat?

Openigloo combines heat-relevant signals from renter-reported experience and open-data indicators displayed on building pages. Use the results to focus your search, then validate directly with the landlord or super.

Will the heat be good in my specific apartment if the building is “best for heat”?

Not always. Building-level performance can differ by unit, orientation, floor, and recent maintenance. Treat the filter as a starting point and verify specifics for your apartment.

What should I ask during a viewing to avoid heat problems later?

Ask how heat is managed by season, how maintenance requests are handled, whether the unit has any known hot-water/heating constraints, and what the response process looks like during cold snaps.

Are these heating signals current year-round, or could conditions have changed?

Conditions can change due to staffing, maintenance, or repairs. The filter is based on signals available to Openigloo; you should still ask the building for current documentation or recent work orders if available.
