Buildings with heat and hot water included near Church Av station in NYC

It’s a building filter meant to surface buildings where heat and hot water are included under the landlord’s arrangements. Still confirm the exact terms in writing because details can vary by lease and unit.

Not always. Even within the same building, inclusions can differ by unit, lease terms, or renovation status. Use Openigloo to shortlist, then confirm directly with the building for the specific unit you want.

Ask what’s included (and what’s not), whether there are any usage limits, whether there’s a seasonal start/end schedule, and how maintenance requests are handled during outages.

Openigloo reviews and tenant Q&A can highlight whether heat and hot water work reliably in real life, and whether the building responds quickly when problems come up.

Usually not. Heat/hot water included typically affects those utilities only. Confirm what you still pay (often electric and cooking fuel), plus any building fees or utility billing arrangements.

Yes. Confirm the lease language, the effective dates for included services, whether there are any exceptions, and what happens if service is interrupted (repair timelines, credits, or escalation process).

Use that as a prompt to verify specifics for the unit you’re considering. Ask for the most recent update on systems and request confirmation of service expectations in writing.
