Areas like Norwood (Bronx), Gerritsen Beach (Brooklyn), and Little Italy (Manhattan) continue to receive a high volume of heat complaints.

Therefore, to accurately measure the number of days a building goes without heat, RentHop grouped the heat\/hot water complaints by address and created date. Complaints filed on the same day regarding the same building are considered one unique complaint. From December 1, 2025, the start of this Heat Season, to February 3, 2026, the city received 234,474 unique heat complaints, 11.24% higher than the total unique count of 210,780 in the same period last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"dt\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renters Suffer as Temperatures Drop Below Freezing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is no surprise that when the temperature drops, renters are more likely to file a complaint, but by how much?
