What does “best-heat” mean on this page?

It’s Openigloo’s building-level signal for how reliably heat performs. Use it to compare buildings, but still ask the building how heat is delivered and controlled in your specific unit.

How does the “m12-bus” filter work here?

It narrows the results to buildings near the M12 bus corridor in Hell’s Kitchen. Your actual commute can vary by which stop you use, so confirm walking time for your route.

Is this page only about apartments with currently available units?

This page is about the heat + M12 filter pair. Availability depends on the individual building and unit, so check the building page for what’s listed now.

What should I ask the building about heat before signing?

Ask about heating schedules, how thermostats or radiator controls work, whether heat is consistent across the building (by floor/unit type), and what the process is if heat is insufficient during cold periods.

How reliable are the heat signals compared to what I experience?

Heat performance can vary by unit, exposure, and landlord maintenance practices. The best approach is to use Openigloo’s signals to shortlist, then verify expectations with the building for the exact unit you’re considering.

Do I need to worry about heat timing during my lease?

Yes. Confirm the heating period and any rules around when heat is turned on/off, since your lease start and end dates can affect what you experience.
