I lived on the top floor in one of the buildings in a studio apartment. As soon as I moved in, in the winter, it was hot. 80 Degrees hot. In winter. I honestly shut the heat off as soon as I moved in in the middle of winter, never turned it on, never shut the windows, have run fans ever since I moved in, it was still extremely hot. In fact, one day when it was 65 degrees outside, it was 87 degrees in the apartment. Calling and complaining to the apartment staff did nothing. They told me that it was simply because of the sun and the location on the top floor. I then asked neighbors if their apartment was like this, and they said their rooms were comfortable. Having told the apartment staff this, they told me it was just the location of the heater in my room, which doesn't make ANY sense to me since it shouldn't be on in the first place. Telling them that the heat is still running has done nothing. They also have stated that they will not turn on the AC until June because of city rules. I'm not sure if this is true or not, thats not really what I'm complaining about, but even so, an apartment should not be this hot in the middle of winter. Especially since the heat is OFF.

I would NEVER live here again. I'm sure the apartment building is okay if you weren't screwed over like I was, but you just better hope you are lucky.

I also lived on the 16th floor and experienced similar problems with the heat. In April, the indoor temp read 101 degrees. By law they have to be able to turn on the heat before a certain date (can't remember what that date is), so there is really nothing to be done about it. What is terrible though, is that there is a clause in the lease that holds the tenant responsible and liable for maintaining the temperatures in the apartment...which of course is ridiculous considering you really do NOT have control over it.
