What does “best-heat” mean on Openigloo?

It’s an Openigloo rating signal based on building-level feedback about heating performance. Use it as a starting point, then confirm the unit’s setup and maintenance history with the building.

How is the “4-train” part of the match determined?

The buildings are filtered to be near the 4 train in Manhattan, so you can prioritize commutes along that line while still comparing building heat performance.

Does a high heat rating guarantee every unit will be equally warm?

No. Even within the same building, heat can vary by floor, exposure, and radiator condition. Read the notes tied to your unit type where available, and ask the super/building management about that specific line or layout.

What should I ask the building about heat before signing?

Ask whether heat is included (and how), what’s typical during peak winter, how requests are handled, and whether there are any ongoing or planned heating-system upgrades that could affect performance.

Are there fees or restrictions I should look for when comparing these buildings?

Yes—fees and rules still depend on each building and lease. Use the building page to check for things like security deposit terms, maintenance/repair responsibilities, and any special procedures for heat-related service requests.

What if heat issues happen—who handles repairs and how fast?

Use Openigloo notes as a lead, then ask for the building’s repair process (who to contact, expected response time, and what triggers priority service). Tenant experiences can highlight patterns, but your unit’s situation matters.
