How should I use the ratings for “heat” when comparing buildings?

Treat the heat signal as a shortlist tool. Look at whether the feedback pattern is consistent across rated buildings, then confirm the specifics that matter for your unit (thermostat control, radiator type/condition, and the process for reporting issues).

What should I ask the landlord or super before signing a lease?

Ask how heat is controlled in your apartment, what the building’s process is when heat is late or weak, and how quickly maintenance responds. Also confirm any documented maintenance history relevant to your unit or radiator system.

Can I rely on the filter alone to avoid heating problems?

No. Even highly rated buildings can have unit-level differences or maintenance timing issues. Use Openigloo to narrow the search, but confirm the practical details directly before committing.

What’s the safest way to evaluate heat for my specific unit?

Ask for radiator/heat-system condition details, clarify whether you can adjust temperature, and request the building’s usual response process during the heating season. Then cross-check any recent tenant notes on the building’s Openigloo page.
