Our landlord recently got a housing violation for inadequate heat and hot water. All winter we were freezing with either no heat, heat that hardly ever came on, or heat that was turned on at our request and then went off a few hours later. Much of the time we had no hot water, and it seemed to "keep going off".
The thing is, this was ONLY when it was COLD outside. Whenever it has been above 55 degrees, all of a sudden the heat is BLASTING ALL the time.
Today it is 60 degrees with 90% humidity. The heat is blasting NON-STOP. Hours ago we asked them to turn it off, more than once. Each time they said they would. The heat is still blasting hours later (you can tell by the continuously hissing, boiling hot radiator).
They have done this many times during warm weather, whereas, as I said, when it was cold, all of a sudden, NO HEAT AT ALL.
If they're not deliberately trying to torture us, I don't know what they're doing.
But this happened in another building I sublet for a while also, on the upper west side. When it was cold, no heat. When it was warm, they blasted it so that it was so unbearable I couldn't sleep.
Is this some kind of cruel game supers play? What the hell is this?!
