No filter can guarantee performance for every unit and season. Use the heat-focused signals to shortlist, then verify with the building directly about heat controls, maintenance response, and what tenants report for comparable apartments.

Openigloo combines building-level ratings with open-data signals and renter-provided context where available. Even then, heat conditions can vary by unit and time of year, so ask targeted questions before committing.

Ask how heat is controlled in your target unit, how long it typically takes to address a “heat is not adequate” request, whether inspections are seasonal, and whether there have been recent recurring problems (and how they were resolved).

Yes—conditions can differ by floor, exposure, and unit layout. Confirm how the heating system is configured for your specific apartment and ask if management can share relevant history or maintenance notes.
