What kind of evidence does Openigloo use for the “best-heat” signal?

Openigloo aggregates renter perspectives from rated buildings and related open data signals that help identify how heat issues show up in real renter experience. You should still confirm specifics with the building.

Does a “best-heat” rating mean my unit will always be warm?

No rating can guarantee conditions in every unit. Radiator/thermostat settings, exposure, and maintenance timing can vary, so verify heating performance with the specific unit you’re considering.

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

Ask about how heat is controlled in that building/unit type, expected response times for heating complaints, whether there are common seasonal problems, and who pays for heating/any related utilities.

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.

Do I need to worry about utilities or deposits if the building is rated for heat?

Yes. Heat cost and your total monthly spend depend on billing setup and lease terms. Ask what you’ll pay each month (and what’s included), along with deposit and any one-time move-in fees.
