What does “best-heat” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level signal based on available performance and renter feedback related to heat. Use it to shortlist buildings, then confirm the details for the exact unit with management.

How does the M79-SBS bus filter work?

It narrows the results to buildings near the M79-SBS bus route, so you’re prioritizing commute-friendly locations while still filtering for the heat signal.

Does a high heat rating mean every apartment is guaranteed to stay warm?

No. Conditions can vary by exposure, floor, and specific unit layout. Treat the rating as an indicator, and ask for unit-specific confirmation before signing.

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

Ask how heat is controlled (radiator/thermostat rules), what temperatures tenants typically report in winter, how maintenance requests are handled, and whether there are common problem patterns.

Can I rely on the tenant Q&A and ratings alone?

They’re useful for pattern-finding, but not enough on their own. Compare multiple mentions, then request answers from the building for the unit you plan to rent.

If I see complaints about heat in older posts, what should I do?

Ask management what has changed since those reports and whether there’s an updated policy, maintenance plan, or recent work order affecting residents.

How should I use this page if I’m deciding between multiple buildings?

Shortlist by the heat signal, then verify: (1) unit-specific heating setup, (2) responsiveness mentioned in Q&A, and (3) lease responsibilities for heat-related issues and maintenance requests.
