There has been a leak in the hallway for a while. HPd wrote LLs up, the leak stopped.
Now it's been leaking again for weeks, and there is 1/2" standing water in the hallway.
If I put heavy flow leak complaint into HPD system, does that prompt them to send someone fast?
AG's office had put out guidance https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2020/at ... oronavirus to call
311 and request an emergency inspection I called 311 and they said they have NO notes on 'emergency inspection." no one answers the phone at HPD. I called AG's office to ask what their press release meant and they didn't seem to care at all that thier own instructions to call 311 and request emergency inspection don't work. They suggested I called DHCR. I've been on hold for hours and no one has answered the phone there.
I am afraid if I call DOB we all will get kicked out, with nowhere to go.
What should I do? I may call fire dept to turn off water, but then I wonder if hpd will come while water is off and they won't see the leaking, then the ll would turn water back on and we will have leak again.
Any advice? Two different unit' tenants on my floor have moved out in the span of one month because it's gotten bad. I don't want the LL to win.
