Reply to comment by SlowInvestor in My apartment is regularly 20 degrees higher than the outside temperature. My landlord says they won’t do AC work until summer. What can I do? by Quardener

I left a bad review yeah. Plenty of other people recently complaining about the same thing. They responded asking me to email them, I did, no response.

Their claim is that working on the Ac system in cold weather will damage it so they have to wait for April. Cold weather. What a joke.

First, even if it was cold, that's not true. Second, assuming that you have a heat pump, as indicated by your other comments, the same unit controls both heating and cooling.

They just straight up don't want to fix it, especially since HVAC contractors are probably jumping for jobs given the unseasonably mild weather.

Also, I took a look at the satellite view of the buildings there and your exterior unit should be ground level around the side of the building. Possible that they would be labeled with the unit number, but you can have someone turn the unit on or off from inside to narrow it down. Any signs of ice or heavy dirt build up is a big no no.
