Dedicated heat inspections and the installation of temperature reporting devices in certain multiple dwellings.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to dedicated heat inspections and the installation of temperature reporting devices in certain multiple dwellings

This bill would require the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to identify 50 class A multiple dwellings based on factors including number of temperature violations and heat-related complaints every two years. Such identified buildings would then be required to install internet-capable temperature reporting devices for up to two years. HPD would be required to conduct dedicated heat inspections of these buildings at least once every two weeks.
