Liberty Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 43 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 43-2
Required temperatures
Operative Text
Heat shall be supplied whenever necessary and in sufficient quantity so that the temperature inside any dwelling does not fall below 65° F. at any time and so that the temperature in any building used for the carrying on of any business, trade or profession does not fall below 65° F. during the usual working hours of the people employed therein.
Liberty Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 43 § 43-2 establishes a minimum indoor temperature standard of 65°F for residential dwellings at all times and for commercial buildings during normal working hours. The rule applies whenever heating is necessary to maintain that threshold, meaning landlords and building operators must supply heat on demand rather than on a fixed seasonal schedule. Both dwelling units and workplaces are covered, though the timing requirement differs between the two categories.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Liberty Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 43 § 43-2, compliant property owners and managers ensure that heating systems are capable of maintaining at least 65°F inside dwelling units at all times, regardless of season or time of day. For commercial properties, operators generally confirm that the same 65°F floor is met throughout the usual working hours of employees on the premises. Routine system inspections, prompt repairs, and temperature logs are among the practices commonly associated with maintaining compliance with this standard.
