Heating season in New York City kicks off October 1st - and if your building's boiler isn't ready, you're already behind. Tenant complaints and HPD violations don't wait for a convenient time. Neither should you.
Here's the thing most landlords find out the hard way: small heating issues don't stay small. A boiler that's running rough in September becomes a full no-heat emergency in January. We handle boiler troubleshooting and repairs, steam and hot-water heating, furnaces, heat pumps, thermostats, radiators, zone controls - the whole picture. So when temperatures drop, your tenants stay warm and your building stays compliant.
NYC law requires indoor temps of at least 68°F from 6 AM to 10 PM when it's below 55°F outside, and 62°F overnight - no exceptions. That's a tight window for something to go wrong. We offer emergency no-heat service specifically for situations where waiting simply isn't an option.
Whether you manage one building or several, getting your system looked at before the season starts is the move. It's a lot cheaper than an HPD violation and a lot less stressful than fielding calls from angry tenants at midnight.
We work with landlords and property managers across NYC through Emergency Piping and Drain Solution LLC and James B Mechanical. Two teams, one goal - keeping your heating system running right all season long.
