What does “best-heat” mean on Openigloo?

It’s an Openigloo building signal meant to surface buildings where heat conditions tend to come up favorably in the data. You should still ask the building how heating works for that specific unit type.

How should I use the R-train filter when I’m comparing buildings?

Treat it as proximity to the R train. Verify your route from the building’s nearest entrance and consider how that changes during bad weather or peak service.

Are these heat ratings based on reviews from other tenants?

Yes. The page is built around building ratings from rated buildings. Use the review text to look for consistent themes (temperature, thermostat controls, maintenance responsiveness) across multiple entries.

What should I ask during a tour to confirm heat quality?

Ask about the heating system (radiator/central), how thermostats are controlled, whether residents can adjust heat, typical winter performance, and the process for repairs if heat is inconsistent.

Can I assume my unit will have the same heat as past residents?

No. Heat can vary by unit layout, exposure, and how the building runs systems. Use the filter to shortlist buildings, then confirm specifics for the exact unit you’re considering.

Does “best-heat near the R train” guarantee no issues?

No. Any building can have occasional problems. Prioritize patterns in the reviews and ask the building directly about current maintenance and how issues are handled.
