NYC Heating in winter while having mini splits

[Ryan Brown]

Good afternoon everyone,

I am a landlord in New York City, and I installed mini splits into each unit in my multifamily property. Also, in my lease for tenants, it states that the tenants are responsible for paying for heat utility.

In New York City between the months of October and May, landlords have to have to keep the heat a certain temperature.

My question is, am I still responsible for keeping the temperature at a specific number if I placed mini splits in each unit and that my lease says that the tenant(s) are responsible for paying the heat utility?

Looking forward to your replies, and thank you in advance

Hey @Ryan Brown - if you've provided the splits and tenants have ability to control their own temperature, then I can't imagine why you would be further responsible for the tenants unit temperatures.
