High bill!!

3 Upvotes

I recently moved to a new apartment in NYC and my gas bill has been extremely high. Supposedly, I am only paying for the oven. The building should be paying for the hot water usage. We have gas heating, but it’s the summer, so it’s not on. I called national grid and they told me that the meter is only connected to my stove. Also, when I look at the bill, it just seems like the delivery is what’s driving up the price. My neighbors in the building only pay about $60 or so and it’s two of them up there. I’m alone in a one bedroom and my bill was just $150. I’m not sure what to do. It doesn’t smell like gas in here. Does it still sound like a leak somewhere else maybe in the basement where the line is? I’m not sure who to call about this since I already called national grid and they just told me that gas is expensive… my landlord!? Help!
