Introduction:
New York City’s 311 Customer Service Center was announced by Ex-Mayor Bloomberg in 2002 which would allow New Yorkers to dial one number for non-emergency and any city-wide service requests. [1] Accenture worked closely with Department of Information Technology and Telecommunication (DoITT) and the Mayor’s Office of Operations to set up the 311 hotline. New York is USA’s most populated city and has more than 350,000 city employees, 120 agencies, offices and organizations offer nearly 4,000 different services to 8.3 million residents. Mitchell Moss, Director of the Taub Urban Research Center at New York University says, “For the first time, we now have a real handle on what troubles New Yorkers. And New Yorkers have a place they can communicate without having an intermediary…It’s amazing how fast it’s become part of the city’s culture. [1]
311 has received 1,610,479 calls between Jan 01, 2013 to Dec 31, 2013. The most complaints during this period were related to heating/hot water problems approximately 200,000 (> 12%). Figure 1 presents the top 10 complaints received during this period. In this paper, I have focused on the Heating Problems in an apartment / building more so when the Building Owner / Manager does not pay heed to the complaint and 311 is called.

Building Owners have to provide heat to the tenants as follows: [2]
• Between the hours of 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM, if the outside temperature falls below 55 degrees, the inside temperature is required to be at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit; and,
• Between the hours of 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM, if the temperature outside falls below 40 degrees, the inside temperature is required to be at least 55 degrees
The species can accept annual precipitation ranges between 40 inches and 60 inches, and annual temperature averages between 48 degrees and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
At 2215 hrs, on November 28, 1942, Fire Alarm Headquarters from Box 1514, situated at Stuart and Carver streets, received an alarm. When the responding apparatus arrived they found a small car fire at the corner of Stuart Street and Broadway. After the fire was extinguished the firefighters were about to return to quarters when their attention was called to smoke emanating from the Cocoanut Grove Nightclub a few doors away. Upon their arrival at the entrance of the Broadway lounge on Broadway they encountered numerous people leaving the premises admidst the cries of “fire”. The chief in charge immediately ordered that a third alarm be sounded from Alarm Box 1521 which the alarm was received by fire alarm headquarters at 2223 hrs. A civilian sent an alarm that was received at 2220 by fire alarm headquarters. As soon as the chief in charge realized that the immediate problem was one of rescue he ordered that a fourth alarm (received at 2224) and a fifth alarm (received at 1102) be sent. The apparatus responding was comprised of 25 engine companies, 5 ladder companies, 1 water tower company, 1 rescue company and various other apparatus. 18 hose steams for cooling purposes and three ladders were utilized (located at Piedmont, Broadway, and Shawmut for venting operations).

New York City’s population is a little over 8.3 million people. 8.3 million people are spread out among five boroughs and each have their own set routine. Each one of those 8.3 million see New York in a different way becuase “You start building your private New York the first time you lay eyes on it” (“City Limits” 4). Some people are like Colson Whitehead who “was born here and thus ruined for anywhere else” (“City Limits” 3). Others may have “moved here a couple years ago for a job. Maybe [they] came here for school” (“City Limits” 3). Different reasons have brought these people together. They are grouped as New Yorkers, but many times, living in New York is their only bond. With on going changes and never ending commotion, it is hard to define New York and its inhabitants in simple terms.
The customer support and customer service functions are more than departments; they are part of an essential strategy for growing your business. In the modern business climate, customers expect answers to their questions immediately. When the right information is available anytime, from anywhere in the world, customers are more likely to have a positive experience, thus customer loyalty will be increased. It is a known fact that the cost to obtain a customer is ten times higher than to maintain and keep existing customers. (Gouran, Dennis, W.E. Wiethoff, & J.A. Doelger. (1994).

Work hours will be established between theitnern and the division/department manager, and will be between the core hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Adverse weather conditions are often unpredictable and unavoidable. There is no accurate way of predicting when the project will need to pause its activities due to an unworkable environment caused by weather circumstances, and this has been a problem for contractors. In this scenario, projects may experience delays and budget modifications. Considering that weather can be unpredictable, it is difficult to calculate the effects or
