What does the “best-heat” filter mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level heat performance signal based on renter feedback and supporting records where available. It’s meant to help you prioritize buildings that tend to deliver more reliable heat.

How is “near the M2 bus” determined?

The page applies the M2-bus filter to focus results to the M2 corridor area in NYC, so your shortlist stays tied to that commute route.

Does a high heat rating guarantee the specific unit will feel warm all winter?

No. Ratings reflect building-level patterns from renter reports, but unit factors (exposure, drafts, insulation, radiator condition, thermostat behavior) can still change your experience.

What should I ask the building before signing a lease for heat-related comfort?

Ask about heat-on/heat-off timing, thermostat or control limits, how maintenance is handled for heat complaints, and whether they can show prior work orders or a history of resolving heat issues.

Is heat performance based on current conditions?

Openigloo uses available data sources, but heat issues can change over time. If your move-in is soon, confirm what the building’s current heating process looks like in the unit you’re considering.

Are there extra fees or lease terms tied to heat reliability?

Not automatically. However, move-in and ongoing costs (deposit, possible broker fees, and any utilities terms) still vary by building. Confirm the full monthly cost beyond the asking rent before you sign.

How can I use this page to compare options safely?

Start with the heat + M2 filters to reduce noise, then compare at least: how the building responds to heat calls, the unit’s heating controls, window/draft conditions, and the exact lease language on utilities and heat responsibility.
