Thousands of New Yorkers in city-owned buildings were without heat or hot water Monday in a frigid jolt that doused Christmas cheer.
Thousands of New Yorkers in city-owned buildings were without heat or hot water Monday — a frigid jolt that included a nightmarish Christmas weekend at an East Harlem building where tenants were left cold, wet and without elevator access after a rooftop tank spill.
According to the city, as of Monday, 3,000 people at Astoria Houses were without heat or hot water after both were knocked out at midnight — and another 3,000 were without heat at Vladeck Houses in Manhattan. “I have no heat. We couldn’t leave,” Hernandez said. “My food delivery was canceled because they couldn’t come upstairs.”
