As the Code Blue alert remains in effect, neighbors are resorting to space heaters and open ovens to stay warm as temperatures dipped on Tuesday.

"I keep my oven on all day. Morning, noon, and night, if not it’s freezing," said one mother, Diamond.

The 37-year-old said she's been sleeping in the living room with her daughter to stay close to the warmth from the oven heat, but it's a nightmare when she's forced to sleep in her bedroom.

"Last night, I slept in my room, I was frozen, me and my daughter were under three heated blankets and a fleece blanket," she said.

Tenants gathered in the lobby, as many shared several 311 tickets they filed over the last 30 days. All of them are labeled "closed," but the issue still remains. Inside another neighbor's apartment, the space heaters are not enough.

"It's cold in here. It's really cold," said Delores Rosemond, another tenant.

After living in her home for 40 years, Rosemond has been forced to stay in her son's home upstate because of the freezing conditions.

"They had to come and get me. To which I don't mind, but I like to be in my house, and why shouldn't I have heat?" she said.

The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development released the following statement:

"Every New Yorker deserves a safe and warm place to call home, and HPD’s enforcement team takes that responsibility extremely seriously, especially as the city faces frigid temperatures. If tenants are without heat and hot water, we urge them to contact 311, and a uniformed inspector will be there to observe conditions and issue violations where warranted."

A source told News 12 the building doesn't have any current active heat violations.
