Keeping the Heat Turned On
heatseeknyc.com
Heat Seek NYC is pioneering a new approach to heating dispute resolution for New York City tenants and landlords.
We're building a suite of open-source hardware and web software that detects heating violations in real time. We use this data to track the issue, identify problem areas, and provide reliable evidence to ensure fairness in housing court disputes.
We are incredibly grateful for the community support we have received to date, and for the opportunity to compete in this year's BigApps competition. Let's work together to keep the heat turned on this winter!
