What does the “best-heat” filter mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level signal based on how heat performance shows up in available data and tenant-reported context. It helps you narrow down buildings where heat appears to be managed better, but it’s not a promise for every unit.

Does “near the 5 train” mean the building is exactly by the station?

No. It means the building is categorized for the 5 train area. Always verify the real walking route, estimated time, and whether it still works for your schedule.

How should I use the heat ratings before signing a lease?

Use them as a comparison tool, then confirm specifics directly with the building: thermostat controls, heating system type, and what happens when tenants report issues in winter.

What should I ask about heat if I’m planning for a long winter stay?

Ask how long it typically takes to respond to heat complaints, who handles maintenance, and whether there are documented patterns by unit line or floor.

Are there any limits or cautions with “best-heat” data?

Yes. Openigloo’s signals reflect what’s recorded and reported for a building. Real-world conditions can change (staffing, maintenance, individual unit factors), so you should confirm current practices with the management team.

How do ratings relate to individual apartments?

Ratings are for the building, not a specific unit. Two units in the same building can experience different temperature comfort, so confirm the heating setup and history for the exact apartment you’re considering.
