What to check before for buildings highly rated for heat near the B16 bus in Prospect Lefferts Gardens

Focus on heat performance: check the “best-heat” signal and then ask the building how they handle boiler season, hot-water timing, and any known variability by unit.
Confirm what you pay beyond rent: ask about utilities included vs. separate, and whether there are any building-specific rules that affect your monthly total.
Look at timing: request a copy of the most recent lease and any heat-related clauses, and ask when maintenance issues are typically addressed during colder months.
Use the building’s status on Openigloo (“with available apartments”) to shortlist units you can actually apply for soon.
Before signing, ask who to contact for heat complaints, how quickly they respond, and whether repairs involve heat shutdowns or temporary unit changes.
