What does “best-heat” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level filter meant to surface buildings with better heat-related signals in the available data. Still, apartment conditions and management practices can vary, so confirm details directly with the building.

How does “near the M102 bus” work in this search?

It restricts results to buildings mapped to the South Harlem area by proximity to the M102 bus corridor, so you’re not browsing across the whole neighborhood.

Does a high heat rating guarantee a specific temperature in my unit?

No. Heat performance can differ by apartment layout, exposure, and maintenance history. Use the rating to short-list buildings, then verify thermostats, radiator/baseboard type, and past heating experiences with the building.

What should I ask the landlord before signing, specifically for heat?

Ask whether heat is centrally controlled, how residents adjust it, what happens during cold snaps, and whether there are any recurring heating complaints. If possible, request documentation of recent maintenance for the heating system.

If heat is included, are my monthly costs still predictable?

Not always. Even when heat is described well, your full monthly cost can depend on the lease terms and how other utilities are billed. Review the lease carefully for what’s included and what is not.

Is Openigloo using only tenant complaints to determine heat quality?

The filters are based on available building-level signals (including what’s reflected in rated buildings). Use them as a decision aid, not a substitute for direct questions to the building and a unit walkthrough.
