Gothamist has good news for seasonal allergy sufferers! After tying the record high temperature of 69 F at LaGuardia yesterday, allergy season is going to end tonight. It will end because our temperatures are going to fall below freezing. Brrrr. The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for tonight and it's going to be even colder tomorrow night. This is your last chance to harvest any remaining tomatoes and be sure to bring any temperature sensitive houseplants indoors. This is not a drill! Them's snow flurries upstate on the radar image this morning.
Is it warm enough in your apartment? You'll find out tonight. According to the City Housing Maintenance Code and the Multiple Dwelling Law, building owners are required to provide heat and hot water to all tenants. If the outside temperature is below 55 F between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. the inside temperature is required to be at least 68 F ; and between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. the inside temperature must be at least 55 F if the outside temperature is below 40 F. If your apartment doesn't have heat you should first get in touch with your super or building owner. If they don't help call 311 and get yourself a fashionable scarf.
