The reason i asked this question is because it was 70 degrees out and my tenant puts the heat on and the windows are open. I allow him access to his own thermostat.By the way desk sgt ,your a jerk !
Seems like a legitimate question to me. The heating season certainly encompasses the time period in nyc when anyone would need heat, so why on earth would anyone 1) want to pay for heat that isn’t necessary, and 2) deplete any more of the world’s oil/natural gas than necessary?
Would the sign of a ‘good landlord’ be that they provide heat in the warm weather?
In any case, thermostat settings higher than required by law wouldn’t have kicked on the heat since the second week in April, so the question would appear to me academic.
Heat must be supplied from October 1 through May 31, to tenants in multiple dwellings if: a) the outdoor temperature falls below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, between 6 A.M. and 10 P.M., each apartment must be heated to a temperature of at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit; (b) the outdoor temperature falls below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, between the hours of 10 P.M. and 6 A.M., each apartment must be heated to a temperature of at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit. (Multiple Dwelling Law § 79)”
Wow, desk sgt,, are you for real or are you just playing at being a curmudgeon for entertainment value? Since you’ve made it clear that you will continue to attribute the worst of motives to people, where can we send our postings to be vetted by you?
Come on, admit you jumped the gun, and owe “op” an apology, come on, come on, yes there it comes, yes I can see the smile, yes I can see you say “sorry I posted before my first coffee” or sorry I have bad arthritis and heat is a real personal issue for me. Come on, you can treat others nicely. Sure you can…
Well, I am the president here, and I turned off the heat in The White House just last week in time for the Queen to visit. Just be happy you’re not heating that place! Ta!
Desk sgt: can you please let us know where to send our postings so that you can vet them and make sure we meet your standards? Or if that is too difficult, maybe you could just start assuming the best of people rather than the worse.
thanks for the information

You’re only saying that ’cause you’re EVIL.
