So a couple of things:

  1. I hope you had photos of the apartment when you guys moved in.

  2. Any text messages you have to/from him describing the situation of poor heat, etc may help when going to court.

  3. He is legally obligated to return your security deposit within 3 days with an itemized list of deductions (if any are applicable). Things that fall under normal wear & tear are not able to be deducted. More details are here

This office may be able to help you: https://jerseycitynj.gov/cityhall/HousingAndDevelopment/housingpreservation/landlordtenantrelations

Edit: Councilman Saleh is probably your councilman and may also be able to assist you.

You need to sue him for your security deposit - what you should of done is used it for your last months rent but sounds like this ship has sailed - you gotta sue - read up on the laws too - https://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/codes/publications/pdf_lti/secty_deposit_bulletin.pdf

get a lawyer if you can afford one

how much is the total you are trying to get back ??

Was the security deposit in a bank as legally required ? If not you can use for rent plus seven percent

I haven’t had these but pretty certain you could order one from Cocoa (their cakes & pies are awesome),

Rizzo’s in the heights apparently has amazing ones but not often so you’d need to call ahead. They’re old school so I feel like it’s a safe bet?

Alt approach: cheesecake ice cream from Toricos.

Strictly JC: probably cheesecake factory. But that's a chain so kind of a cop-out

If you're willing to expand; strawberry cheesecake from Coach House in north bergen.

I was just thinking about where to get a slice of cheesecake in DTJC. The only places I could think of are Shoprite and The Cheesecake Factory. Shoprite barely qualifies as good (but certainly not bad) and there has to be better than Cheesecake Factory (despite them having pretty good cheesecake). I hope somebody here has a better place for you.
