This past Friday (8/6), there was water shut-off notice from NYC DDC (Department of Design and Construction) posted to the front of my apartment building, as well as several other nearby buildings. It said the water would be shut off on Wednesday (today, 8/11) from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. I rearranged my work schedule so I wouldn't have to be home without water. When I got home tonight, I saw there was a new 8:30—4:30 shut-off notice for tomorrow, 8/12. "Subject to change due to heat wave" was typewritten next to the date and highlighted in yellow. Though I did not ask my neighbors about it, I could tell from the way water flowed from the taps in my apartment that the water had not been shut off recently.
This seems a terribly shoddy way for a city department to treat NYC residents. Tomorrow and Friday are forecast to be a couple of the hottest days this summer, with an excessive heat warning in effect, so this impending shut-off might or might not be dragged out into next week. What is the best way to register a complaint about this? Unfortunately, I'm in District 48 and its council seat is vacant.
