What does “best-heat” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a filter built from Openigloo’s heat-performance signals for buildings. Treat it as a starting point: you should still ask the building how heat is maintained in your specific unit and during shoulder seasons.

How does the “bx6-bus” filter affect the search?

It narrows the results to buildings located near the BX6 bus area in Washington Heights. It helps you search by commute corridor, but the exact route and walking path can vary by block.

Are these buildings only in Washington Heights, and how many are currently eligible?

Yes. This page is scoped to Washington Heights, and it includes 32+ eligible buildings under the selected filters.

What should I ask about heat before signing a lease?

Ask about recent heat complaints and what maintenance steps are used, how thermostats/radiators are controlled, and what happens if the unit doesn’t maintain temperature. Also confirm whether heat is included in the rent or billed separately.

Do reviews guarantee heat will be fine in my unit?

No. Heat issues can be unit-specific and can change over time. Use the filter to prioritize your questions, then verify current practice with building staff.

Where does the heat information come from?

Openigloo combines tenant-focused feedback with open-data signals. Because conditions can change, data may lag real-world experience—so confirm directly with the building, especially for your move-in date.
