What does “best-heat” mean on this page?

It’s an Openigloo filter that surfaces buildings with stronger heat-related signals in building data and tenant-reported context. Treat it as guidance, not a guarantee, and confirm the specifics with building management for the exact unit you’re considering.

How does the “M116 bus” part of the filter work?

It limits results to buildings in the All Upper West Side scope that are aligned with the M116 bus area selector. You should still verify the building’s exact walking distance, entrances, and access routes.

Are the 61+ buildings only apartments currently available?

This page is focused on heat performance and the M116 area selector. The scope doesn’t say anything about availability, so confirm availability on each building’s page.

What should I ask about heat before signing?

Ask how heat works in that specific unit (controls, radiator/boiler setup), what maintenance looks like during colder months, and what happens if heat underperforms. Also ask how utilities are billed so your full monthly cost is clear.

Does a high heat rating mean I won’t have any issues?

No. Heat performance can vary by unit and season. Openigloo’s filter helps you narrow the field, but you should still ask for the building’s recent maintenance history and current practices.

Where do the heat signals come from?

Openigloo uses building-level signals and tenant-reported context to surface heat-relevant patterns. For the most accurate picture, read the building page details and ask direct questions of the landlord or management.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope right now?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.

What to check before choosing a building highly rated for heat near the M116 bus in All Upper West Side

Confirm the heating details for your specific unit: thermostat control, radiator type, and whether heat is included or billed separately.
Use the Openigloo best-heat signal as a starting point, then cross-check with the superintendent/management about seasonal performance and maintenance response.
When you’re near the M116 bus selector, still verify commute time and building access (entrances, doorman hours, elevator reliability).
Ask for the lease terms that control utilities responsibility and any billing method; heating costs can change your full monthly budget.
If you’re comparing multiple buildings, use the building’s rated context on Openigloo (not just one comment) to avoid one-off issues.
