Document all communication in writing, either hard copy or email, so you have a trail of evidence to support your claim.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If your landlord fails to respond, you may file a complaint with the City. You also have the option of seeking help from the Housing Court.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Any complaints involving apartments must include your contact information. If you&#8217;re reporting a situation that affects the entire building, contact information is still required but the complaint may be listed as anonymous in the public record.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 More help is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/nyc311-hpd-service-request\/form.htm?execution=e1s1\" target=\"_blank\">NYC website<\/a>.
