Not to mention you’ll get black listed so good luck ever renting again in NYC.

My old landlord use to stand across the street and make notes and take pictures of who had their windows open even the slightest during heat season. Then if those apartments complained about lack of heat he would show them the pictures and say you apparently had too much heat. He got taken to court multiple times

Seal your windows and weatherproof your doors.

A good example of how NYC has tenant protections on paper but not in real life.
In Chicago, you can withhold rent when violations get that severe. Period.
In NYC, you’ll need a full on lawyer for that (after you’re finished freezing in your deteriorating apartment for the 9 months while your case is stuck in housing court).
