What to check before for buildings highly rated for heat in Kensington

  • Start with the heat-focused “best-heat” filter, then sort by building ratings (and availability) to reduce cold-weather surprises.
  • Confirm what “heat included” actually means for your lease: radiator vs. central heat, typical set points, and how issues are documented and resolved.
  • Ask how maintenance requests are tracked and how fast the building responds during cold spells; “rated for heat” is a signal, not a guarantee.
  • Check your full monthly cost beyond heating performance: base rent, any fees, and any utilities terms stated in the lease.
  • If you have specific comfort needs (bedroom layout, drafts, older windows), ask for the most comparable unit on the same line or tier.
