Wife is first time pregnant and over 8 months. The building management is being cheap and not turning on the heat high enough even after I complaint multiple times.
I complaint 311 and nothing yet. What should I do?

Other than getting my own heaters

I won’t recommend heaters because they can risk creating fires and are generally are not permitted

Continue to badger the building Mgmt team and document actual air temp in house.

You can threaten legal action if there is a standard in your contract, otherwise it’s time to bundle up

There’s a difference between city required heat (which is in your lease and required by law in NYC) and warm. They only need to get it to 68 degrees. To get above that you’ll need to look at a heater of some kind. Oil based heaters are better than electrical generally. They look like a radiator but plug into the wall. Good luck. That’s a shitty situation

WM - The city required is 68F but I barely have 62F in my apt

If they aren’t hitting minimum you can break your lease.

I thought that the occasional visits from the recently divorced single mother that moved in down the hall was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was wrong, getting that mouse jiggler is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Is it normal for a company not to provide paid maternity leave? They said it’d be paid by the state under FMLA for 3 months. Is the FMLA benefit payment taxable?

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

Thoughts?
