great job, everyone!


I filed a heat complaint with the City—the Department of Housing Preservation & Development—because my landlord hasn't been providing enough heat,* and I just checked up on it online; this is what I found:


So...OK. Landlords, all you have to do is not let the inspector in, and the procedure, at that point, is apparently for the City to close the complaint. It's like if the standard police response to a fleeing suspect were to drop all charges.

Good system!


Do you understand the connection here? Good for you.


* Except on Christmas, proving (a) that the landlord has excellent Christmas spirit!—and (b) that the landlord is perfectly capable of turning on the heat and is a fucking dirtbag.
