Hooray, it’s the holiday season again! While everyone’s love for gifts, candles, and gingerbread cookies increases dramatically around this time of the year, the temperature, sadly, decreases each day as we enter the coldest months. For many people, the best way to celebrate the holidays is to stay at home with their family, drinking wine and watching their favorite holiday movies. Not everyone is as lucky, unfortunately, especially those who rent apartments in the city.<\/p>\n

Although required by the NYC Heat Law, some landlords are just too forgetful to turn on the heat, leaving the tenants to face the consequences of their irresponsible actions. Our studies in the past couple of years have shown that certain parts of the city, such as Erasmus<\/a><\/strong> (Brooklyn), Mount Hope (the Bronx), and Hamilton Heights (Manhattan) are just not getting the heat they need, despite people’s complaints to 311. As we welcomed the first snow in the city, it is time for us to see which neighborhoods are suffering this winter.<\/p>\n
