Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Tuckahoe Code ch. 12 § 12-68, compliant property owners and managers ensure that every dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, and rooming unit they operate is connected to and supplied with electric service at all times. This means verifying that electrical service is active and available before a unit is occupied, and maintaining that service throughout the tenancy. Operators generally document the availability of electric service as part of routine property inspections and compliance records.

Tuckahoe Code ch. 12 § 12-68 gives residents of any dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming house, or rooming unit the right to have electric service provided in their home. If electric service is absent or has been cut off in a way that may violate this provision, tenants can document the condition and report it to the appropriate local code enforcement or housing authority in Tuckahoe. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westchester County housing codes can help residents understand the general options available when a landlord may not be meeting this baseline requirement.
