No heat and water in rental property

[Matt B.]

Hi All,

I own a rental property in a condo development in NYC. One unit a few condos away is vacant (owner was foreclosed on). There is not heat in that unit and the water pipes keep breaking. As a result, they had to shut the water down to about 9 units until the vacant property is fixed. Currently my unit that is rented out has not had water since 7pm on 1/8/18. Also, we have base board head which runs on water. The property management company for the complex has been trying to get a plumber in since it happened but as of now, no plumber has come.  My unit has working pipes and working HVAC but since the main has been shut off, my water has been shut off along with 9 other units. I know NYC law says landlords must supply heat and hot water but this is beyond my control. Am I liable for this?

Thanks!
