Heat and hot water complaints this season

1819 George Street in Ridgewood, Queens, has had 47 heat or hot water complaints to 311 since Oct 1, 2026, 78.3 per 10 units, the most of any graded rental building with 6 or more units, as of Oct 26, 2026.

The legal heat rule

From October 1 through May 31 (heat season), a landlord must keep apartments at least 68°F between 6 am and 10 pm whenever it is below 55°F outside, and at least 62°F overnight (10 pm to 6 am) no matter the outdoor temperature. Hot water (at least 120°F) is required year-round. Failure to provide either is a class C, immediately hazardous, violation (NYC Admin Code § 27-2029). Know your rights.

This week: Oct 19 to Oct 23, 2026

Counts are heat and hot water complaints to 311 since October 1, per 10 units, recomputed after each nightly data refresh. Buildings are graded rentals with 6 or more units; co-ops, condos and public housing (NYCHA) are left out, and an owner is named only when it is a company. Landlords are grouped as on the landlord ranking (3 or more buildings and 50 or more units) and counted over their graded buildings. A complaint is a report by a tenant, not a finding by the city.
