Buildings highly rated for heat near the BXM1 bus in East Harlem

It’s a building-level heat performance signal used to rank and surface higher-rated buildings. Use it to start with the most promising options, but still confirm how heat is provided for your specific unit.

It groups buildings in this East Harlem scope that are near the BXM1 bus route so you can focus on transit access that fits your commute.

Treat the rating as a screening tool. The page aggregates building ratings across rated buildings, but your unit can still differ—ask about radiator/thermostat behavior and past responsiveness.

No. Any performance signal is still building-level. Ask the leasing office about the specific system in the unit, how temperature problems are handled, and what documentation exists for recent issues.

Ask how heat is controlled for that unit, whether heat is included as part of rent, how maintenance requests are logged, and what the building’s typical timeline is for fixing heating complaints.

Often there can be house rules. Confirm the building’s policy on portable heaters, radiator access, and thermostat controls before moving in, since documentation or safety rules may apply.
