What does “best-heat” mean on this Openigloo building page?

It’s a building-quality filter based on heat-related signals from renter feedback and building-level data. Use it as a short-list, not a substitute for checking your exact unit and lease language.

How does the “Q104 bus” filter change what I see?

It narrows the Queens building results to those near the Q104 bus corridor, so commute-focused renters can combine location with heat-focused building signals.

Does a “high heat” score mean heat is always included in my rent?

Not automatically. Inclusion depends on the building and your specific lease. Confirm what utilities are included, how heat is billed if separate, and any metering or cap terms.

What should I confirm before signing a lease if heat is my priority?

Ask for details on radiator/baseboard operation (if applicable), maintenance response for heating problems, after-hours escalation, and whether there are any known recurring issues. Also confirm how fast the building addresses service tickets.

Where does the heat information come from, and is it current?

Openigloo combines renter-reported insights with open-data signals and building-level information. Like any dataset, it can lag real-world changes, so verify directly with the building and ask for recent documentation if available.

What other costs should I budget for beyond the asking rent?

Even if a building is filtered for heat quality, still budget the full monthly and move-in cost: broker fees (if applicable), security deposit requirements, and any utilities that aren’t included. Your lease will control what you pay.
