If your landlord is not complying, you may file a complaint with the Division of Housing Code Enforcement's 24 hour emergency heat hotline at (201) 547-4821 or enter a complaint online. You may also send an e-mail message to housingcode@jcnj.org

^This.
My old landlord pulled something similar, we called the Emergency Heat Hotline.
They open a file for you (which can help you and other tenants in the future) and assign you a case worker. The case worker calls your landlord and lets your landlord know they have been notified. The case worker sets up an appointment to come look at your thermostat, check the heat, etc. If it's not on, or it's too low, your landlord has five days (although I might be wrong about the amount of days - I think our landlord had been a repeat offender) to fix it or they get fined.

I would not recommend trying to withhold rent.

Also, was it working before, and now it's just broken? Or was it not turned on in the first place?

I found mine on Hotpads I think, but I've used padmapper before and been happy.

Live on 5th Street for two years and never had an issue. Relatively quiet for the most part. Lot of people who don't want any trouble and make it their business to keep it that way.

Re: New York Bagel on Newark Avenue

I've been here twice since it opened. The bagels were wrinkley, dry and stale. Just gross. I could pretty much get the same bagel in the freezer section of the supermarket.

Second time I went for a sandwich. Terrible. Bread was stale, lettuce wilted and tomato seemed over ripe.

The staff was smiling though. But I won't be going back.

No. I would be so happy if they did open one though. I miss that SO much about living in Queens. As someone who works late hours in the city, I often don't get home before most of them close and leave earlier then most of them open. I do drop off... but still would prefer to be able to do my own.
