New York Heating Law protects tenants by requiring landlords to maintain safe and livable indoor temperatures during the official “heat season,” from October 1 to May 31. When outdoor temperatures fall below 55°F, landlords must ensure indoor temperatures are at least 68°F during the day and 62°F at night. Failure to comply can lead to violations, penalties, or even legal action. Understanding your rights and obligations under New York Heating Law is essential for both tenants and landlords to avoid disputes and ensure safety.
