RCNY § 56-02

a. No later than July 1, 2024, and every year thereafter, the department will select 50 class A multiple dwellings for installation by the owner of one Internet Capable Temperature Reporting Device in each dwelling unit in the selected multiple dwelling. The department will select such buildings using criteria, including, but not limited to the following: (1) the multiple dwelling was issued violations of Administrative code § 27-2029(a) or 27-2028 for each of the past two Heat Seasons as set forth in these rules; and (2) the multiple dwelling has been the subject of a heat-related complaint from two or more distinct dwelling units in each of the last two heat seasons as set forth in these rules. b. Notwithstanding the criteria set forth in subdivision a of this section, a multiple dwelling that is participating in the Alternative Enforcement Program pursuant to Administrative Code § 27-2153, or that has an Article 7A administrator appointed pursuant to real property actions and proceedings law article 7A, or that has been the subject of an in rem foreclosure judgment in favor of the city and was transferred by the city to a third party pursuant to Administrative Code § 11-421.1 within the prior five years, shall not be included among the multiple dwellings selected pursuant to subdivision a of this section. c. For purposes of selecting 50 class A multiple dwellings for installation of Internet Capable Temperature Reporting Devices, such multiple dwellings having the greatest number of violations of §§ 27-2029(a) and 27-2028 of the Administrative Code, and at least four violations of such sections for the past two Heat Seasons shall be selected. Where more than one multiple dwelling has the same number of violations and would result in more than 50 multiple dwellings being selected, the multiple dwellings with the highest percentage of dwelling units with heat-related complaints in the last two Heat Seasons shall be selected first.
