Got back from a really excellent night out to find a notice on the door.

My apartment is severely late in paying for heating and hot water, and the gas company is threatening to cut us off.

...Not that I see much heating or hot water, usually, but some is better than none when it's December.

Facepalm.

^^;;;;;;;; But but it's illegal to not heat a building above a certain temperature during the winter in NYC! Though I suspect the city bureaucracy is probably fairly slow in enforcement. :/ :/ :/

I don't think legality has ever stopped this apartment management company from doing what they wanted to do! (Actually, they were just fined some huge sum for violating labor laws, which may be why they didn't pay their gas bill.)

Hopefully it will be cleared up before the heat gets cut off, it just wasn't much of a thing to come home to when it was 1 a.m. and I was thinking, "Hmm, gotta put the kettle on when I get home so I can have a warm bed to get into."
