It's heat season, and NYC renters will soon be waking up to the smell of burning dust and the sound of old radiators clanking off the cobwebs. For those whose landlords don't flip the switch, there are steps you can take to put their feet to the fire.

Oct. 1 marks the beginning of heat season in New York City.It’s getting cold outside. But indoors, heat season is officially here.

During the daytime, between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. if the outside temperature falls below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, the inside temperature must be 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development will then attempt to notify the owner, and if service isn’t restored, an inspector will be sent to the apartment, verify the complaint and issue a violation. The violation will be posted online and sent to the landlord with a deadline for when they must fix the heat.

Because a violation can only be issued if the inspector is in the apartment when the temperature is below the regulations, this is when a heat log would be especially helpful.
