Does “best-heat” guarantee my apartment will stay warm every winter?

No. It’s a building-level signal based on what’s been captured in Openigloo data and renter reports. Heat delivery can still vary by unit and maintenance timing, so you should ask the building specific questions before committing.

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

Ask about how heat is controlled in your unit, whether radiator valves/thermostats are maintained regularly, how the building responds to heat complaints, and how issues are documented and communicated to residents.

Are there extra costs related to heat or utilities I should plan for?

Yes. Even if a building is flagged for heat, your total monthly cost can still depend on how utilities are billed and any building fees or deposits required at move-in. Confirm these details in writing.

Where does Openigloo’s rating/heat signal come from?

It’s based on open signals and what’s recorded from rated buildings in Openigloo. Use it as a comparison tool, then validate by asking the building directly about your unit, lease terms, and maintenance process.
