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

It’s a borough-scoped filter for Manhattan buildings that are highly rated for heat based on Openigloo’s building-level signals and tenant context. Still, heating can vary by unit, floor, and maintenance history, so confirm details with the building.

How many Manhattan buildings match this filter right now?

2,116+ buildings currently match the “best-heat” filter in Manhattan on Openigloo.

Are the heat ratings guaranteed for every apartment in the building?

No. Heat performance can differ by unit layout, exposure, and equipment condition. Treat the filter as a shortlist, then verify specifics (thermostat type, radiator access, and how issues are handled) for the exact apartment you’re considering.

What should I ask the landlord or super before signing?

Ask how heat is controlled in that unit, whether there are seasonal schedules, the usual response time for heating complaints, and what maintenance process applies if the unit runs cool.

Does this filter consider only the current season?

It’s based on Openigloo’s available building signals and tenant-reported context, which may reflect patterns over time rather than a single day. For timing, ask the building about recent maintenance and any recurring heat-related issues.

Can I use this filter to avoid all heating problems?

No. The goal is to prioritize buildings with better heat signals, not to eliminate risk. If heat is critical for your comfort, use the shortlist and request a unit-specific walkthrough or a conversation about current performance.
