During “heat season” HPD responds to all heat and hot water complaints and, if adequate heat and hot water conditions aren’t corrected, HPD will impose penalties and may contract with private companies under the Emergency Repair Program to restore services to residents. In the last unprecedented heat season, HPD inspectors worked through a pandemic and responded to more than 114,000 heat complaints at a time when most New Yorkers were sheltering at home.
