Commercial landlord not addressing HVAC issue

[Elizabeth Lee]

Hi, this is more from a tenant side, but I have a suite in a class A medical building. I am not sure what is going on but our HVAC is unable to keep up with the weather. Even though the outside temp is mid-70s, our office is holding steady at 80. We are cooking.

There is also some sort of electrical transistor that is throwing off heat in my compressor room. The ventilation is nonexistent and I have asked the landlord to address this to no avail.

The lease read that the HVAC is the landlord’s responsibility. What should this tenant do going forward? This is actually affecting patient care and I feel that this is not what I have signed up for. That being said, it is a commercial lease that is very favorable to the landlord. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of situation? Thanks a lot!
