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

On Openigloo, “best-heat” is a filter that uses available comfort signals and tenant-reported experiences to surface buildings where heat performance tends to be better. It’s a screening tool, not a guarantee for a specific unit.

How many buildings match this Roosevelt Island station + “best-heat” filter?

As of 2026-07-07, there are 36+ buildings that match the Roosevelt Island station location filter and the “best-heat” criteria.

Does a highly rated building mean every apartment will have strong heat?

Not necessarily. Heat can vary by unit exposure, floor level, and radiator/vent configuration. Use the page to short-list buildings, then confirm heat specifics for the exact apartment you’re considering.

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

Ask about typical heating behavior during cold weather, how temperature complaints are handled, thermostat access, and whether there are any known recurring heating or boiler maintenance issues.

Do I need to consider utilities even if the building is “best-heat”?

Yes. The filter focuses on heat performance signals, but your full monthly cost can still change depending on whether utilities are included or billed separately, plus any required deposits or fees.

Where do the heat signals come from?

Openigloo combines tenant-reported information with building details and open-data signals shown on each building page. Use them to guide questions, then verify the conditions with the building directly.

Can heat ratings change over time?

They can. Maintenance, building systems, and property management practices may change. If you’re close to move-in, re-check the specific building page and ask about current performance during a cold-weather visit if possible.
