New York is a city of renters... and when you're a renter, it can sometimes be hard to know what you should fix yourself, and when you should call in the super. What is a person supposed to do when the garbage disposal stops working? What's the safest way to install a window air condition unit? Why in the world do heaters make crazy clanging noises in the wintertime?

WNYC's Morning Edition wants to give you the answers to those questions through a new segment called "Ask a Super" -- your key to making city living work for you.  

Ron Pioquinto is a working building super in Long Island City. This month, he joined WNYC's Michael Hill to talk about exactly what a building super does, and some of the most common quirks he sees in the early spring. 

Next time we hear from Ron, we also want to hear from you! Send us questions for a building super – especially if they have to do with the problems that pop up around spring and summer in your apartment or house. We’re eager to hear your responses at yourvoice@wnyc.org.
