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

It’s a building-level filter based on Openigloo’s heat-related signals from rated buildings, helping you focus on buildings that have performed better on heat. Individual units can still differ, so confirm details with the building.

What does “M2-bus” mean for this buildings search?

It filters for buildings in Manhattan that are near the M2 bus route, so your shortlist is organized around that commute option.

How should I use this page when comparing multiple buildings?

Start with the heat rating signals, then compare unit-level factors like utilities/heat inclusion, radiator or heating system type, and the building’s stated maintenance process. Tenant Q&A on Openigloo can help you ask better questions.

Are these heat conditions guaranteed once I move in?

No. The filter reflects building-level signals from rated buildings, but actual heat performance can vary by unit, season, and maintenance history. Ask the building what to expect for your specific unit.

What should I ask the building before signing, related to heat?

Confirm how heat is provided to your unit, whether thermostats are tenant-controlled, how quickly maintenance responds for heat issues, and whether there are any rules that affect heating comfort (like space-heater approval).

Do I need to budget for utilities if heat is better here?

Yes. Even with a heat-focused filter, utilities and heating costs can depend on the lease and unit. Check the lease and current cost breakdowns (and any deposits or move-in fees) before committing.
