How does the SIM35 bus filter work?

The “sim35-bus” filter focuses on Manhattan buildings near the SIM35 bus corridor. Exact distance and routes vary by stop, so check the specific pickup location you plan to use.

Are these 22+ buildings guaranteed to have good heat in every apartment?

No. Heat performance can vary by unit, layout, and how systems are maintained. The filters help you shortlist, but you should still verify specifics for the exact unit type you’re considering.

What should I ask the leasing office before applying?

Ask about thermostat controls, how heat complaints are handled, typical timelines for repairs, and whether heat and hot water are included in the rent or billed separately.

Can I rely on the heat ratings without checking utilities and lease terms?

You should not rely on ratings alone. The full monthly cost can depend on how heating/hot water and utilities are billed, so confirm what’s included and what you’d pay during winter.
