It’s officially the last day of Heat Season! Every year, from October through May, our Enforcement team works tirelessly to enforce “Heat Season” rules to keep New Yorkers safe and warm in their homes. Every staff member in ENS plays an invaluable role during this time, and we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for their hard work: During the 2023-2024 Heat Season, our Code Enforcement team conducted 107,241 inspections related to heat and hot water across the five boroughs on some of the coldest days of the year and late into the night. From inspecting heating systems to responding to tenant complaints, our HPD inspectors play a vital role in maintaining the quality of life for all residents. Our team followed up with property owners on 13,248 heat and hot water violations that triggered our emergency repair process. From calling owners to advise them about outstanding violations, to conducting follow up inspections and hiring contractors to make repairs or picking up utility accounts, our Emergency Operations and Enhanced Enforcement team plays a vital role in maintaining the quality of life for all residents. Our litigation team initiated 2,541 cases in Housing Court related to heat and hot water, ensuring that property owners understand their responsibilities to supply adequate heat and hot water to tenants throughout the heat season. To our unsung heroes: We appreciate your hard work and dedication. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed, and your contributions are deeply appreciated by your fellow New Yorkers!

❓Here is a question about our services that we get asked frequently: What can I do to minimize damage until an adjuster gets her or repairs can start? ✔️ Seeing your home damaged is extremely stressful as a homeowner, and it’s difficult to know the right course of action. Will trying to clean up on your own help or just make things worse? No matter what kind of damage you’ve incurred, the very first thing you should do is take photographs as long as the area is safe for you to be in. If you have water damage, the best thing to do is extract as much standing water as you possibly can while you wait for help. If you have fans, set them to start drying things as much as possible. They won’t be enough to dry the area completely, but they can help to minimize the chance of secondary damages. In the event of mold or fire, it’s best to just leave the damage alone until a professional can address it. Disturbed mold can disperse spores throughout the home, and fire damages can worsen if improper cleaning techniques are used.
