During the previous “heat season,” the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) fielded 200,224 heat complaints. The current heat season begins on Oct. 1 and continues through May 31, 2018. During this time period, residential building owners with tenants are required by law to provide heat and hot water to their tenants. This year, a new law increases the minimum required overnight heat temperature.
