No. Heat is influenced by unit location, radiator/building systems, and seasonal conditions. Treat “best-heat” as a shortlisting signal and confirm expectations with the building for the exact unit.

Ask how heat is provided (radiators vs. central systems), what thermostat controls are available, typical response time for issues, and whether there are any known seasonal patterns or maintenance constraints for your target unit.

Renter feedback and open-data signals are useful, but they can lag real-world conditions. The most reliable approach is to read the building-level notes, then validate with the super/property manager for the specific apartment.

Look for repeat themes (maintenance responsiveness, temperature consistency, follow-through). If a comment mentions a problem, ask whether it’s been addressed and whether policies differ by floor or unit type.
