Does a high heat rating guarantee my unit will stay warm all year?

No. Heat conditions can vary by unit layout, exposure, and radiator/HVAC condition. Treat the filter and ratings as helpful signals, then verify thermostat control, utility responsibility, and maintenance practices with management.

What should I ask the landlord about heat before applying?

Ask about boiler/HVAC age and maintenance history, expected response times for heat complaints, and how heat is billed (if not included). Also confirm any recent repairs that could affect performance in your unit.

Are the heat signals based on NYC records?

They’re derived from open-data signals surfaced through Openigloo’s building research workflow. These indicators can lag real-world conditions, so it’s still important to ask the building directly.

What to check before for buildings highly rated for heat near the B44-SBS bus in Williamsburg

Confirm how heat is handled per lease: included vs. separate charges, thermostat controls, and who pays for utilities.
Ask about recent boiler/HVAC maintenance and average response times for heat issues, even if the building is rated for heat.
Verify unit-level fit: radiator condition, window insulation, and whether the unit faces wind exposure that can affect heating.
Check for any restrictions tied to current rules or renovations that could change heat performance (for example, work schedules or temporary system swaps).
Use the Openigloo signals as a starting point, then request the same info in writing from building management for your specific unit.
