Yo, your landlord ain't giving you heat again, right?

Here's the thing about your City Hall, what they're seeing right now, deadass. So look— the biggest headache for New Yorkers calling 311 right now ain't parking tickets or loud parties, nah. It's the heat. Or the lack of it, more like. According to the latest 311 data, "HEAT/HOT WATER / ENTIRE BUILDING" clocked in with a whopping 3,474 requests. That's more than any other issue, including residential noise (3,236) and even blocked hydrants (2,989).

Think about that for a second. More people are freezing or showering in cold water than complaining about the guy blasting bachata at 3 AM. It’s wild, but also, it's winter, right? And landlords trying to cut corners? That's New York.

* **Top 311 Issue:** Heat/Hot Water (3,474 requests)

* **Second:** Residential Noise (3,236 requests)

* **Third:** Blocked Hydrant (2,989 requests)

Meanwhile, on the lobbyist front, you got the usual suspects. Bolton-St. Johns, LLC is working for Barnard College through 2025. And check this, Lamar Advertising of Penn LLC has Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP on their books until 2026. These are the folks trying to get the city's ear, making sure their interests are heard. What does it all mean? Well, those 311 calls show what’s really grinding people’s gears out there in Flatbush, in Astoria, in Washington Heights. The next move from City Hall should be to get these landlords right, because nah, you can't be paying that much rent and not get basic heat.

That's New York — if you can't keep up, take the bus.

Kwon-Gutierrez out. Yo, Keith and the crew are always breaking this down, catch 'em live at mornings.live.
