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.
