In NYC, all landlords must provide hot water.
In NYC, for buildings in which the landlord must provide heat, if the landlord refuses to provide adequate heat then the tenants must make a complaint to 311 and ultimately to HPD.
If the landlord refuses to provide heat the landlord will be forced to do so by HPD if an inspection reveals that the landlord is not complying with the law. This requires much persistence from complaining tenants. HPD can force the landlord's hand by sending in their own plumbers to install a working boiler and to purchase oil for it if the landlrod refuses to comply - then they bill the landlord. If the landlord refuses to pay they can put a lien on the property.
In NYC, there are residential buildings in which, tenants have an agreement with the landlord to pay for their own heat. In such case, if the apartment is rent-regulaed under the law then, such tenants receive a discount on their rent. (If the apartment is not rent-regulated, the sky is the limit on rent.)
Anyway, landlords do not always comply with the law and many of them deny essential services to tenants. And hence, we have the constant battle between landlords and tenants in NYC. In fact, there are more cases heard in NYC housing court every year than there are criminal cases heard in federal court throughout the entire US every year.
