I rent the top floor of a 3 family house in Bay Ridge. I have two huge radiators, and every morning at 530 AM I guess the heat goes back on, and there is a shockingly loud CLANG. It scares the heck out of me. The landlord says this is unfixable. I find this really hard to believe. He claims a few plumbers have come over. Also to note, if I close the valve off, the knock still happens. A similar noise seems to happen later in the evening when I believe he lowers the heat. For some reason, they don’t like to give heat during the night. Any assistance or ideas on a course of action. My relationship with him is friendly, and I’d like to keep it that way of course.
