Your landlord is still dodging heat calls, nah?
So look—we all know the MTA is broken, right? But what about the heat? You wake up in November, the radiator's colder than a Yankee fan's heart, and you call 311. Turns out, you’re not alone.
Here's the thing: according to the latest 311 data, "HEAT/HOT WATER / ENTIRE BUILDING" is still the number one issue across the five boroughs, with 3,809 requests. That’s more than double the number of people complaining about potholes (1,743, if you're keeping score) and way more than those annoying loud music complaints. It tells you everything you need to know about what's really stressing New Yorkers.
* **Top 311 Issues:**
* Heat/Hot Water: 3,809 requests
* Blocked Hydrant: 2,985 requests
* Posted Parking Sign Violation: 2,860 requests
And while you're freezing your butt off, who's whispering in City Hall's ear? Big names. Bolton-St. Johns, LLC is lobbying for Barnard College through 2025. Green 78 LLC's got Higgins Quasebarth & Partners on the payroll for 2026. These are the folks with the connections.
What's next? Winter's coming, deadass. If these numbers are this high *before* the real cold hits, we’re in for a long one. Keep hitting 311, yo. That's New York — if you can't keep up, take the bus.
