I let it go as long as possible in the hopes the issue would get resolved but honestly am I the only person in my apartment building that bothers to bitch at the landlord when the boilers aren't heating up enough...?

like I just get the sense that my neighbors just suck it up when there's problems like this and don't bother with it. and sometimes I agree, that's the best approach, but not with the heat. space heaters only do so much and when the heat is part of my stupidly expensive rent payments, like, I am not about to pay extra electricity to supplement what they should be providing me. so why do I feel like it's only me ever letting him know there's an issue....?

can't one of y'all do it instead I know I'm not the only white person in this building surely one of you is willing to be the karen sometimes. or has new york just beaten you down so much that you accept illegal temperatures?

#and I know it's a building wide problem because the lobby has been cold as shit #so that radiator isn't heating up enough either #which means none of the radiators are heating up enough #and last time this was a problem it was because one apartment unit was using a space heater to keep their place astronomically hot #which was messing up the boilers' algorithm #and that could easily be the case again #and it's an easy fix you just take that unit out of the algorithm #but the landlord can't fix that if nobody mentions they're fucking cold #alternatively if it's an issue with the boiler itself like he's gotta know about that #that's his fucking job and I don't ask for much but I expect to have heat in february #...anyways once again I must be the building karen #which I don't mind but like c'mon back me up sometimes fam
