: It's me again! Albany, NY, Late 1800's apartment, 5 in building, no written lease.
: Got my 280 gallon oil tank TOTALLY filled on 12/28/00 (cost $170), Well turns

: form of heating. What are the opinions on this matter? The other thing is that we
: have no HOT water at all! Just cold water coming through the hot water pipes!
: We CAN NOT live in this apartment in these conditions!! Any suggestions are welcome!

What Fred said: plus:

We use 280gal no2 oil in ten days for 8 units, about 6000 sq feet of living space.

Pretty sure there's a law which says if you pay for your own heat (we don't), the landlord must give you accurate estimates before you sign the lease.
