#nyc rentals
Ever had a landlord hold old out on turning on your heat before the temps dip below the teens? Then you’re going to love this. Heat Seek NYC is an app (with a Kickstarter!) that’s set up to track and record temperatures inside your apartment.
In case you didn’t know, there are laws about indoor temperatures in NYC from October through May. Of course, not everyone plays by the rules and some tenants are left shivering. You can bring the landlords to court or dial 311 to tell on them, but those means are neither immediate nor effective. The hourly temps the app records could give advocates and lawyers info to keep landlords honest. It can be a tough world out there renting. It helps to know that people care. Also, technology!
P. S. For every sensor you back on the app’s Kickstarter, both you and a needy tenant will get one. -EL

Both subjects, fashion and architecture, express ideas of personal,social, and cultural identity, reflecting the interests of the targeted audience and the age’s ambition. Fashion and architecture also perceive the change in a city, and show it: one does so by “dressing bodies”, the other by dressing places. A concept expressed in the early Twentieth Century by German philosopher Walter Benjamin, when he wrote that the two subjects belong “in the darkness of the lived moments, to the dream consciousness of the collective.”

If, as Coco Chanel once said, “Fashion is architecture,” then architecture, by way of residential real estate, has become fashion.
