What do you need to know about making your NYC apartment work for you this summer?

Morning Edition host Michael Hill is teaming up with building super Ron Pioquinto to answer those questions.

Submit your inquiry here. There’s a chance we'll read it on air: forms.gle/Xpad5FrQPvGc...

Text reads “New York is a city of renters, and for those renters, it’s sometimes brutal out there. Morning Edition wants to know what pressing questions you have for building supers about how your apartment works for you during the summer months.”
