I just got my first bill of $82.41. You read that right, eight two f*cking dollars and forty one f*cking cents. I almost blew a gasket. Where do they have the gall to quote such an outrageous price, in a new f*cking building. I've been living in this space 6 and a half days. I'm away for a minimum of 10 hours per weekday, I sleep for 8. I'm single, no kids, no nothing. I don't even have an AC installed yet.

If someone doesn't let me in that meter room to get my reading to send to ConEd, there will be Hell to pay, I am going "ham" until they do.

Even if I had the TV blaring all damn day, it should be nowhere near this amount to begin with.

How can you get an estimate when there was no prior tenant to estimate it off of. Heat and hot water is included in rent, so even if I had the heat blaring all day, it still won't account for this.

I just had to vent. I'm tired of these big name retards (ConEd, Verizon, AT&T, etc) trying to milk us for every nickel and dime that we have. I am not the type of customer you'd want to **** off.

Okay, I'm done venting. I'm gonna go enjoy the nice weather now. Happy Saturday everyone.
You can actually call ConEd and let them know you do not want an estimated bill. You want the meter to be read. Your bill should not be over $50. My current ConEd bill includes both gas and electricity and it's never over $70 and $80 at most for summer nonths. So you were billed you incorrectly. Make sure you give them a call.

Thank you for that, they aren't coming out until May 11 for the reading, so they told me to send them a picture of the meter. Hopefully I can get this sorted on Monday and be done with it.

No prob. Download the ConEd app. You can enter your meter reading there as well.

Good evening everyone,
Congratulations on those who signed or about to sign there new leases. It's been two months since I went on my interview and I have yet to hear anything since the last time I email Natalie and she said my application was in process. On Monday I will call or send another email to find out my status.
