What does Openigloo use to identify heat performance?

Openigloo aggregates building-level signals that reflect how heat works in the real world, then groups them so you can compare buildings more quickly. Always verify specifics for the exact unit with the building or landlord.

Does “highly rated for heat” guarantee there will be no heat issues?

No. Filters help you shortlist, but conditions can vary by unit, layout, and maintenance history. Confirm how heating is maintained, response times for repairs, and what support looks like during colder periods.

What should I ask the landlord or super during a tour?

Ask how heat is controlled (unit-by-unit vs. building systems), how quickly issues are addressed, whether they’ve had recent service problems, and what tenants typically experience when temperatures run low.

Will my total monthly cost be limited to the rent shown here?

No. Even if a building is strong on heat, you still need to account for the full monthly cost (for example, deposits, broker fee if applicable, and any utility setup). Ask for a clear breakdown before you commit.

Are these buildings near the J train located exactly on the line?

This page targets the J-train area rather than only addresses directly on the platform. Confirm the walk time to the specific J stop you’ll use most often.
