Thank you so much for joining us in celebrating our 50th Anniversary!
TENANT ALERT
January Rent Checks
Tenants will be receiving January 2026 invoices from Stellar Management, instructing us to make our rent checks payable to them. As we noted last month, we are concerned because under landlord-tenant law, the obligation to pay rent under your lease is to the named landlord on that lease, unless you are instructed otherwise by your landlord. But we have still not been given any such instruction.
Accordingly, and relying on advice of counsel, we recommend that checks should be written payable to “Stellar Management, as agent for{name of the landlord on your lease}.” Check your most recent lease to see who is listed as your landlord. In some cases, that would be “PWV Acquisitions, LLC”; in others, it will be “CF PWV LLC & SM PWV LLC”.
The Tenants’ Association is currently addressing this issue with Stellar Management and will keep you posted.

NEXT BOARD MEETING: JANUARY 20, 2026
The New York City Heat Season Runs From October 1 to May 31.
Between October 1 and May 31 ("Heat Season")
Between the hours of 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM, if the outside temperature falls below 55 degrees, the inside temperature is required to be at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that the radiator must be programmed to be functional before 6:00 AM to achieve the inside temperature of 68 degrees. This becomes critical when the outside temperatures are in the single degrees of winter. In the past the “clanging” of the radiators would begin after 6:00 am.
If you are without heat, notify your building lobby attendant first. If there is no response within a reasonable time, an hour, call 311 or download the web app to report the problem. NYC regulations also requires hot water must be available at a constant minimum temperature of 120 degrees year-round.
Between the hours of 10:00pm and 6:00am, the inside temperature is required to be at least 62 degrees Fahrenheit regardless of the outside temperature.
