2430 Tratman Avenue, Bronx, New York 10461.

Building (5 floors; around 25 units total) is easily two-thirds Central American illegals who don't pay rent in any case. Very chaotic, since - with the illegals - there are always about 7, 8, 9 people or so, "residing" in a one- or (at most) two-bedroom apartment (the building has only 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms; about evenly split).

Going back to the rent, it's a rent-stabilized building, and there is a minority of tenants who are paying rent out of their own wallets / paycheck. As for all the illegals, either the Catholic church ( Catholic Charities Inc. ) is paying their monthly rent, or the government is ( all it takes is one Anchor Baby to start getting government benefits ).

As for the heating in winter, it used to be stifling, which is not unusual for old NYC apartment buildings utilizing a boiler / radiator system. There were lots of complaints from tenants that the heating needed to be better regulated, since people were having to keep windows open in January and February - if the radiator valves were open; or, would have to close the radiator valves completely, and then the room(s) would get too cold.

So the building management made some adjustments, and ever since then, the winter heating has been fine: not too hot, not too cold; around 79-80 degrees or so in most of the apartment (entrance hallway would be cooler of course; no radiator there). And the building management is responsive to sane requests; at some point, they have to ignore the crazies who demand to be catered to and given the Royal Treatment ... in Spanish, at that.

So as for the complaint above; well, it's always nice, warm, and sunny in Central America (and the Caribbean, too). So the complainers ( "hace frio! hace frio!" ) are very welcome to go back to their country-of-origin, with the warmth and the sun and the etc. Nobody will miss them and their 9 welfare Anchor Babies.
