Ever wonder why your apartment feels so cold? The Department of Housing and Preservation defines October 1 through May 31 as “Heat Season,” when landlords are required to meet certain temperature requirements in the apartments they oversee—but all too often this isn’t the case. Check out RentHop’s interactive map to see how many heat complaints your neighborhood has received and decide if it’s time to give your landlord a call to crank up the heating in your building!
