As the Code Blue alert remains in effect, neighbors are resorting to space heaters and open ovens to stay warm as temperatures dipped on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
“I keep my oven on all day. Morning, noon, and night, if not it\u2019s freezing,” said one mother, Diamond. <\/p>\n
The 37-year-old said she’s been sleeping in the living room with her daughter to stay close to the warmth from the oven heat, but it’s a nightmare when she’s forced to sleep in her bedroom.<\/p>\n
“Last night, I slept in my room, I was frozen, me and my daughter were under three heated blankets and a fleece blanket,” she said.<\/p>\n
Tenants gathered in the lobby, as many shared several 311 tickets they filed over the last 30 days. All of them are labeled “closed,” but the issue still remains. Inside another neighbor’s apartment, the space heaters are not enough.<\/p>\n
“It’s cold in here. It’s really cold,” said Delores Rosemond, another tenant.<\/p>\n
After living in her home for 40 years, Rosemond has been forced to stay in her son’s home upstate because of the freezing conditions.<\/p>\n
“They had to come and get me. To which I don’t mind, but I like to be in my house, and why shouldn’t I have heat?” she said. <\/p>\n
