Welcome to New York! That’s just how it is in apartments here, unfortunately. If you find the valve you can turn your radiator off completely, but please don’t turn the valve partially — this can cause a leak and really mess things up for your downstairs neighbor.

You should be able to turn it off completely. Is it a radiator?

If it’s a radiator there should be a little door or opening you can put your hand through and turn the knob to close it. Otherwise sorry!!

Do you have pipes? Get pipe insulators from Home Depot - it’ll cut the heat down substantially.

Nope not pipes, not sure what it’s called though

Open your 🪟 , tell your landlord

I read somewhere that you’re supposed to open your windows with those heaters on. Makes a lot of sense

I love it

Did Republicans think this through? Are they assuming they’re now powerful enough they can stop the electoral reaction to this? I’m seeing people radicalizing in real time across my social networks. Republicans supporting Biden. Formerly moderate Democrats coming out in favor of court-packing.

Was this all really worth it?

We are two males in our mid 20s looking for a clean and respectful 3rd roommate to sign a new lease for a 3-bedroom apartment in LES starting 9/1. It is close to several restaurants, bars, grocery stores and the building is a luxury building with several amenities. Trader Joe’s is a 5 min walk and the subway is right by the building. The room we are looking to fill will be priced at 2050. You will be sharing the bathroom with one person only.
