What to watch forⓘ

  1. Heat or hot water problems reported in the last five years.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Turn on hot water at the kitchen sink and bathroom sink and feel the water temperature after running for one minute.
    details ▸

    Heat is required October 1 through May 31: at least 68°F from 6am to 10pm when it is below 55°F outside, and 62°F overnight whatever the temperature outside. Hot water must be at least 120°F, 24 hours a day, all year.

    If your apartment is colder than that, file a complaint with 311 and keep the service request number so you can track it. Never use a gas oven or range for heat, which can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

See something wrong? File a complaint with 311

Buildings built before 1960 may still contain lead-based paint, which causes behavioral and learning problems in young children, who can swallow dust and paint chips from windowsills and floors.

If a child under six lives with you, or spends 10 or more hours a week in your apartment, tell the owner in writing, which is what obliges them to inspect annually. Report peeling paint, and call 311 if it is not fixed or if repair work is raising dust that is not being contained.

  • NYC HPD, ABCs of Housing 2024 (Tenants' Guide)
  • Pests reported in the last five years.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look along baseboards, in corners, and behind appliances for droppings, dead insects, or signs of active pest activity.
    details ▸

    Roaches, mice, and rats can be hazards for people with respiratory conditions such as asthma. Bedbugs spread between apartments through small cracks in walls and floors, so catching them early matters.

    Report pests to the owner and call 311 if they are not dealt with. For bedbugs, an HPD inspector visits, and a violation is issued only if they can visually confirm live bedbugs.
