Here’s one for folks. We have a two family brownstone which has a seperate meter for the rental floor. With our current tennant moving out I have transferred the bill into my name. Con Edison now deem this a commercial bill and charge a higher rate. I challenged them on this that it was all the same building but thems the rules allegedly. The weird thing is, if I were to convert to a single meter for the house the bill would all be back to residential rate. The rate would also change back to residential when and if it’s moved back to a new tennant. Struck me as very odd but perhaps others have encountered this ? Either way it just seems like a rip off.
