Buildings with heat and hot water included near the M86-SBS bus in NYC

It means the building matches the heat-hot-water-included filter on Openigloo. You should still verify the lease wording for exactly what’s included and what, if any, utilities are billed separately.

Yes. This page combines heat/hot-water inclusion with the M86-SBS bus (m86-sbs-bus) filter pair, so the building set is focused around that transit corridor.

Not necessarily. “Included” applies to heat and hot water, but you may still have other billed utilities depending on the building and unit. Confirm the full utility breakdown before committing.

Openigloo uses building-level signals and tenant feedback where available, but utility coverage can still vary by contract, unit type, or updates. Treat it as a starting point and confirm with management directly.

Ask for the utilities included in writing, typical service expectations (especially seasonal heat), how hot water is maintained, and what compensation or repair process applies if service is inconsistent.

Often yes. Included utilities reduce part of the monthly cost, but you can still face deposits, application/administrative fees, and broker fees (if applicable). Ask for the full expected monthly and move-in cost.

Start with what matters most to you (included utilities, building policies, and recent feedback), then compare unit costs and lease terms. Use Openigloo tenant Q&A and building details to flag questions to confirm before signing.
