Mayor Mamdani Blasted as Tens of Thousands of New Yorkers Still Have No Heat While Garbage Piles Up Around City

New Yorkers have been blasting Mayor Zohran Mamdani for days now as trash piles up and snow removal moves at a snail’s pace.

Even worse, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city with no heat as deadly cold temperatures continue this winter.

It turns out there is more to running a massive city than slogans about taxing the wealthy.

The New York Post reports:

Tens of thousands of New Yorkers left without heat as temperatures drop to 4° — and tenants blast Mamdani for failing to act

New Yorkers placed a staggering 80,000 calls to 311 reporting a lack of residential heat and hot water in January 2026 — the highest monthly total on record — as private and public housing tenants told The Post they were trapped in unlivable conditions and accused Mayor Zohran Mamdani of failing to act.

The complaints poured in amid a brutal deep freeze, with tenants across the city reporting days without heat, ice-cold showers and overnight shut-offs as temperatures plunged into the teens.

Alex Hughes, a Williamsburg tenant, said the situation in his building has deteriorated so much that he recently packed his bags and moved into a hotel.

“We’ve had over 40 days of no hot water over the last 11 months. And we’re now on day eight or nine straight of no hot water,” Hughes told The Post. “I had to walk 15 minutes in the snow and ice to a friend’s house so I could shower.”

In Astoria, Nicole Pavez, 31, a city planner for NYC, said the current cold snap has pushed her building’s already unreliable heating system into crisis mode, forcing her to bundle up indoors and dress her dog in sweaters to keep him warm.

Former NYC Mayor Giuliani blasted Mamdani on Twitter/X:

As mayor—during storms—New Yorkers knew the streets would be plowed, trash would be picked up, and the vulnerable would be protected.

We cleaned up snow so fast people complained they didn’t even get a day off work!

Compare that to now, 10 days after a storm…

And the trash is piling up everywhere.

New Yorkers Are Losing Patience w/ Mamdani

“This is the Great Wall of New York City trash. This is now a national landmark. You can't even see that there is a road on the opposite side of this. I'm about 6ft tall … This is insane!” pic.twitter.com/yNi6wQYLSM
