Buildings highly rated for heat near the R train in Flatiron

It’s a filter meant to surface buildings that Openigloo data indicates perform well for heat. Still, heat can vary by unit, thermostat controls, and radiator condition, so you should confirm details directly with the building.

Use it as a convenience filter for commute access. When you tour, check your actual walking time and route options at the times you’ll commute.

No. The filter is based on building-level signals and ratings. Individual units can differ due to layout, exposure, and how heat is maintained, so verify your specific unit during the tour.

Ask who controls the thermostat, whether radiators are individually controlled, expected heating performance during cold snaps, and the process/timeline for maintenance if heat is insufficient or inconsistent.

Confirm how heating is billed or included in your rent, and request an estimate of typical monthly costs for your unit. Even with a “best-heat” building, your full monthly budget still depends on utilities and fees.

You can review rated-building information, scan building pages for relevant details, and use tenant Q&A to spot recurring maintenance or management patterns. Use it to shortlist, then confirm during tours.
