Description
MY GRANDCHILDREN LIVE IN A TWO FAMILY HOUSE WHERE THE LANDLORD TURNS OFF THE HEAT AT 10PM SO SHE CLAIMS. THERE ARE CHILDREN IN THIS HOUSE WHOSE AGES ARE 8, 4, 2, 1. THESE BABIES ARE COLD ALL THE TIME. SHE ALSO DOES NOT TURN ON THE HEAT IN THE MORNING WHEN THE OLDEST NEED TO GET READY FOR SCHOOL. THIS IS A DOWNRIGHT SHAME. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE

Hi Denise,
Please first call 311 to file an official complaint with the city housing authority. Then post the name and phone number of your building management and we will call them on your behalf.
Thanks,

I FALIED TO MENTION THAT 311 WAS CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND TOLD THE PARENT TO CALL THE POLICE. SO THEY KEEP CALLING THE POLICE AND STILL NOTHING HAPPENS, MEANWHILE THESE CHILDREN ARE SUFFERING.

Hi Denise,
These are the inside temperatures that landlords are required by law to provide:
Between the hours of 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM, if the outside temperature falls below 55 degrees, the inside temperature must be at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Between the hours of 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM, if the temperature outside falls below 40 degrees, the inside temperature must be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you grandchildren's home falls below these temperatures, please call 311 to file an official complaint. Recent 311 complaints for 350 Montauk Ave. concern vermin, not inadequate heat/hot water.
NYC Dept of Finance property tax info lists Eliud Polanco as the owner of this building - no further information is available for us to contact him on your behalf.
