You can file a complaint online- I had to do this with my last NYC apartment. It’s illegal for them to not have it on right now. Room has to maintain a certain temp (just google it, that’s what I did)

They are required by LAW to put it on. it's not a convenience. So call 311, everyday until the landlord understands. Go to court they will ensure he does.

No heat or hot water should be reported to 311. Especially during heat season.

Get a space heater they are super small and you control the temp. They are perfect

Order a room thermometer on Amazon and document temps. I was having an issue with inconsistent heat in my apartment this year too and started texting pictures to my landlord and super with the temp

As someone who has lived in Texas my whole life and lived in many apartments, I’m shocked you can’t control your own AC and Heat. Def not what I’m used to.

I live in the Bronx and I’m having this situation since last year and no matter how many calls to 311 they don’t fix it. Landlord excuse is his app says a different temp so he is not breaking the law

Every time my landlord thinks he’s slick I call 311 and humble him.

you could put a bag of frozen peas on your thermostat. I had a landlord that put the heat to 58 to save$. cost him so much money in tech fees because he couldn't figure out why it was malfunctioning😁

Is there a tenant union in your building? If not, start one, create a contact list for all your neighbors and start a chat

The city doesn’t play that. Call 311 and the city will get it up and running and then bill them

Get a thermometer and start taking photos and leave a text trail. After a few weeks you can file the the complaint.

That sucks. Sorry, your experiencing this. I read that you don't have the space for a space heater, but marshalls and tjmaxx sometimes have space heaters for smaller apartments. I hope this helps!

Who dis? :
Get a thermometer and text him photos of the heat if it drops below. I’d bet you’re cold but it’s legally sound and he’ll say to just get blankets, unfortunately.

It happened to me last lease cycle took and it took them two months to fix the boiler we then got a rent concession of 50% off and got renewed at the same rate with now working heat. Call 311.
