Arrangements were made to conduct an inspection of her apartment on October 15, 1996 at 9:30 am. This inspection was made at approximately the time noted. The following is a summary of the heating conditions found at the time of investigation: (1) Kitchen area - Temperature reading 70°F & radiators cold (2) Front Room Temperature reading 70.5°F & radiators cold While temperature readings in the apartment were adequate at the time of inspection, I included mention of the "inadequate heat"complaint since it appeared that the thermostat in this apartment was not operational at the time of investigation.
