Building owners in New York City are required by law to provide the following minimum temperatures under the following conditions:

During the day (6 a.m. to 10 p.m.), when the outdoor temperature falls below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, the minimum indoor temperature is 68 F.

At night (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.), when the outdoor temperature falls below 40 F, the minimum indoor temperature is 55 F.

This applies only during the heating season, which is October 1 through May 31.

If you are not receiving adequate heat, and the temperature in your home falls below the legal minimum, you can report it by calling 311. The first thing to do is to speak with your landlord or building super, but if they are not making a serious and reasonably speedy attempt to fix it, then call 311 and report the problem.
