Is a “highly rated for heat” building automatically guaranteed to have good heat in my unit?

No. Even when a building is rated well, heat can differ by unit layout, exposure, and radiator/thermostat conditions. Use the building page to confirm details for the specific unit you’re considering and ask direct questions.

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

Ask how heat is controlled in that unit (thermostat/radiators), what residents typically report during peak cold, whether there are common maintenance issues, and how long repairs take when heat problems come up.

Are utility costs or billing affected by whether heat is good?

Heat performance and how utilities are billed are different questions. Even in buildings that run well, confirm what’s included in rent vs. what you’ll pay separately (and whether heat is metered or billed any other way).

Where does the heat information come from?

Openigloo compiles renter signals and review-based ratings from rated buildings, plus open-data style building details. That can help you compare options faster, but you should still verify specifics with the building for your unit.
