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

“Best-heat” is a filter that prioritizes buildings with stronger heating-related signals on Openigloo. Use it to narrow down options, then verify the details by asking management about how heat is delivered and controlled in the exact unit.

How does the “sim9-bus” filter affect the search?

It limits results to buildings near the SIM9 bus corridor in Soho, so the commute/route you care about is part of the shortlist. If you’re flexible on walking distance, still confirm the practical route from your door.

Are these ratings specific to heat, or just overall building quality?

The page is scoped by “best-heat,” but you should still treat ratings as overall signals. Look at the rated buildings sample for context, then read reviews and any heat-related tenant Q&A to understand what residents experience.

What should I ask the landlord or super before signing a lease?

Ask how heat is controlled (thermostat access, radiator controls), whether heat varies by floor/unit, what the typical warm-up timeline looks like, and how maintenance requests for heat are handled during peak cold months.

Will I pay the same heating costs across all buildings here?

Not necessarily. Even when a building is selected for “best-heat,” heating bills can differ by unit layout and metering rules. Confirm whether heat is included and request utility or heating-charge expectations for a comparable unit.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now (and how many buildings)?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell’s Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.

Does this page guarantee heat will be excellent in my exact unit?

No. Filters and ratings help you narrow down, but they can’t guarantee your unit’s experience. Always ask management about the specific apartment you’re considering and follow up on any heat-related concerns.
