1537

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 overseeโ€”but all too often this isn’t the case. Checkย out RentHop’s interactive mapย 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!

The study has also been featured inย Curbed New York.
