Summer heat is coming; Does your NYC landlord have to provide AC?
Briefly

"Window units are a staple in New York City apartments across the five boroughs. But they can prove to be dangerous if not installed properly. The city has specific guidelines for keeping residents and pedestrians safe and keeping your apartment cool for the summer."
"At the beginning of the year, city lawmakers issued mandates for almost all rentals regarding AC access. By summer 2030, landlords must provide AC for at least one room in most covered apartments if the tenant requests one."
"During the designated 'cooling' period - which runs from June 15 to Sept. 15 - the new legislation says that sleeping rooms must be kept at or below 78 degrees when it's over 82 degrees outside."
