NO HEAT

 

VALENTINES DAY 2016







Woke up this morning to 7 degrees, its now 14 degrees outside, and no heat at 118 East St. Through some communications with the other tenants, it seems the heat is on in one line of the building. That line contains the market rate tenants. There are 2 other heat lines that are off and those lines contain the majority of rent stabilized tenants, including some senior citizens in fragile health. I think one or two market rate folks are getting the frozen treatment if they are unfortunate enough to reside above or below a rent stabilized tenant. Calls to the Westminster office provide no results as usual. There seems to be a Westminster person living in 118 at the moment. A call put into him goes unanswered and he has no voice mail set up on his phone. The same goes for the "Super". No answer. No voice mail set up on phone. So its time to take things to 311.

  3. It seems like most of the tenants have abandoned the building. Gone to friends apartments I presume to keep from getting a bad case of pneumonia.

  4. Yes the building is quite silent. Only a few that have nowhere to go in the cold.
