What does “best-heat” mean on Openigloo for Lower East Side buildings?

It’s a filter designed to surface buildings that have stronger heat-related performance signals in the data Openigloo uses, alongside renter-reported context on building pages.

How many highly rated heat buildings are available in this area?

Do the heat ratings guarantee how warm my specific apartment will be?

No. Heat performance can vary by unit, exposure, and how the building manages controls. Use the filter to narrow your search, then confirm the actual setup for the specific apartment you’re considering.

What should I ask the landlord or super about heat before signing?

Ask what’s included, how the thermostat or controls work in that unit, what happens if heat is inconsistent, and how maintenance requests are handled during colder months.

Can utilities change my total monthly cost even if heat is good?

Yes. Even when heat is handled well, your full monthly cost can still depend on what utilities are separate or billed differently. Ask the building for the current utility/billing structure tied to that apartment.

Where does the heat signal come from, and how current is it?
