What does the “best-heat” filter mean on Openigloo?

It’s an Openigloo ranking based on heat-related signals and renter input available for each building. Use it as a starting point, then confirm how heat works in the specific unit during your viewing.

How does the “M12 bus” filter change what I’m seeing?

It narrows results to buildings located near the M12 bus route in Manhattan, so you can balance transit convenience with your heat requirements.

Are the heat ratings a guarantee for every unit in the building?

No. Building-level heat performance can vary by unit layout, exposure, and maintenance. Treat the filter as guidance and verify the heating setup and temperature response in your target apartment.

What should I ask the landlord or super before committing?

Ask how heat is controlled, whether the apartment has reliable radiators/vents, how quickly issues are fixed in winter, and what tenants typically experience during cold weather. If possible, request a recent maintenance history related to heating.

Does “best-heat” account for utilities and my total monthly cost?

Not automatically. Even if a building scores well for heat, your lease may still charge for utilities or require separate payments. Confirm what’s included and what isn’t before signing.

Where do Openigloo’s signals come from?

Openigloo combines building pages with available renter feedback and open-data indicators where applicable. Data helps you compare options, but you should still validate conditions directly with the building.
