What does the “best-heat” filter mean here?

It groups buildings with stronger heat performance signals based on Openigloo’s available heat-related information. Heat experience can still vary by unit, so confirm details with the building using the question prompts from the building page.

How does the BX7 bus filter work for Washington Heights?

It narrows results to buildings located near the BX7 bus corridor in Washington Heights. Use it as a starting point for commute convenience, then verify the exact walking route and entry location for the unit you’re considering.

Are these 62+ buildings guaranteed to have perfect heat in every apartment?

No. Even with better building-level heat signals, radiator/thermostat control, unit location, and maintenance history can affect day-to-day results. Use the building page to check heat notes from rated buildings and ask targeted questions before you apply.

What should I ask the super or leasing office about heat before moving in?

Ask how heat is controlled in the specific unit, whether there are known seasonal issues, how quickly repairs are handled if the apartment runs cold, and what the process is for submitting and tracking maintenance requests.

Does the heat score include utilities costs or only heat performance signals?

The heat filter is about heat performance signals. Your total monthly budget still depends on the full cost picture for that unit, including deposits/move-in fees and any utilities arrangements stated for the lease.

What if tenant Q&A conflicts with the building’s heat notes?

That can happen. Treat Q&A as evidence to investigate: ask follow-up questions about dates, unit types, and whether any problems were resolved. If needed, request the most recent maintenance/repair history the building can share.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?
