(DNAINFO) Gustavo Solis | December 10, 2015 — Residents of a 40-unit building have gone for weeks without heat and hot water after a boiler broke Thanksgiving morning, tenants and the landlord said.
“We were boiling water to take showers,” said Ta-Tanisha Rice, who has lived at 1980 Seventh Ave. for 12 years.
Harlem Restoration Project, which runs and maintains the building fixed the hot water last week and plans to have heat restored throughout the building Friday, according to the manager Ricky Jones.
“The boiler will be replaced tomorrow,” he said.
