How should I use the ratings for choosing between buildings?

What should I ask the super or management about heat before signing?

Ask whether heat is central or unit-controlled, what the lease includes for heat and related utilities, and what the process is for emergency repairs if the heat underperforms.

Do heat ratings guarantee my specific unit will be warm?

No. Heat quality can differ by layout, exposure, and how the system serves your unit. Use the rating as a starting point, then verify specifics with the building.

What to check before choosing a building highly rated for heat near the C train in Washington Heights

Use the page filters to narrow to buildings reporting stronger heat performance signals near the C train, then compare building-level notes in the reviews.
Before applying, confirm how heat is controlled (individual vs. central), what’s included in the lease, and whether there are any known seasonal issues.
Ask for the most recent documentation the building can share on heating service and maintenance response times.
If you rely on utilities staying consistent, request clarity on tenant responsibility for utilities beyond heat and how bills are handled.
Treat heat performance as building-specific: read multiple review excerpts, not just the overall rating, and compare across different months.
