HVAC Repair in Hell's Kitchen: questions answered

What temperature does my landlord have to keep my apartment in NYC?
From October 1 to May 31, at least 68 degrees between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. when it is below 55 outside, and at least 62 degrees overnight regardless of the outdoor temperature. Hot water must be available all year at a minimum of 120 degrees. A violation is Class C and must be fixed within 24 hours of posting.
Does my landlord have to provide air conditioning in NYC?
Not yet as a general rule. A city law enacted in January 2026 will require landlords to keep bedrooms at or below 78 degrees when it is above 82 outside during a June 15 to September 15 season, with tenant opt-in from March 2028 and enforcement from June 2030. Until then a window unit you bought is yours to maintain, and a building-installed PTAC is usually the owner's equipment.
How much does a mini-split cost to install in NYC?
A July 2026 planning guide from a New York City contractor puts a single-zone ductless mini-split at $2,000 to $6,000 installed and a multi-zone system at $4,500 to $15,000 or more, and says those are planning ranges rather than quotes. Con Edison rebates of $3,500 to $5,000 per apartment apply to a full heat pump replacement by an approved contractor.
