Yes, a new year, a new legal series. Kicked off today's show with my new topic: Winter Dangers and Your Legal Rights. This morning on "Open", I discussed "Heat and Hot Water". By law, building owners must provide all tenants with adequate levels of heat and hot water. Tip: The NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal is authorized to reduce the rent of any rent regulated apartment in NY City when required heat and hot water services are not maintained.
