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

It’s a curated filter based on Openigloo’s building-level signals related to how heat performs, as reflected in tenant feedback and related data available to us. It’s meant to help you focus on buildings where heat problems are less common.

How does the X38 bus filter affect the results?

It narrows buildings to locations near the X38 bus route so you’re comparing options in the corridor most relevant to your commute, not across all NYC neighborhoods.

Are these buildings guaranteed to have working heat in my unit?

No. Ratings and signals are based on prior observations and reported experiences. Heat performance can vary by unit, exposure, and maintenance timing, so verify for the exact apartment you plan to rent.

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

Ask how heat is controlled for that unit, what the building’s typical response process is for heat complaints, and whether they can share the last service history for radiator/HVAC issues if relevant.

Will I still have to pay for heating costs?

Potentially. Even when a building is well-rated for heat, you still need to check the lease for which utilities you’re responsible for (and how billing works), along with any deposit terms tied to utilities or move-in.

Where does the heat information come from?

Openigloo uses tenant-focused building signals, including reviews and notes that mention heat and related maintenance. Where open-data indicators are available, they may also support context, but tenant experience is still critical.

How should I use this page if I’m moving mid-season?

View the specific apartment, ask about current heating operations, and confirm there’s a clear escalation path if heat is weak once temperatures drop. Don’t rely on the building’s history alone for your exact unit.
