Stumbled across this story in the Daily News, nothing worse than not having heat or hot water in the winter. It’s a miserable feeling, having to boil water to take a bath ( or a hooker bath ). Fortunately, this was a rare occurrence for me. Twice while living in apt buiding way back when, and once when the water heater broke. ( It’s different, when the heat WORKS and the people who pay the bill don’t want to turn it on *coughmyparentscough*. Always talking bout: “put something on, so you won’t be cold”. ) Now, it so hot in my room that I wake up choking and dehydrated. It’s great. Really wonderful. No sarcasm.
If you’re stuck without heat or hot water, know your rights. If you know someone who’s dealing with this situation, let them know about their rights. Check on any elderly relatives and make sure that they’re keeping warm, the cold affects them a whole lot worse that the young’uns.
