Georgia (my state) has sent many, many workers from Georgia Power into Florida although a good part of Georgia has also run into loss of power issues from Irma.IF the broken water line is from the meter to the street, the repair is typically on the city/county; if from the meter to the house, it's on your dime.  

Hi everyone, I live New York City, I was wondering if it was legal to sub-meter my tenants for water.

Only thing I would change (which you covered) if getting those utilities separately metered and paid by the tenant... 

Google rent o meter and you can get an idea about rents.

You probably wouldn't want to use direct vented gas fired hot water heaters since they carry a bigger price tag, so if you use gas for hot water heating without direct venting your exhaust has to go through the chimney - there are sizing requirements for that and requirements for how to share a chimney; electric hot water heating won't have this issue.Then you have PECO to install gas lines and meters.

The property looks like it was used by the previous owner as a three family, at some point; it has two means of egress (stair well & fire escape ladder) and the electric is appropriately sub metered along with kitchen, bathroom, space heater, etc.

And again I'm his would be landlord.Further more, I called the company to find out what was really going on (he was claiming they couldn't find my property, then it changed to they needed the meter # --- something NEVER reqd before) and that's when they confirmed he kept calling but refusing to apply. 

The property manager hasn't responded with any suggestions or ideas to why this might of happened.Daily Water usage (1CCF-748 gallons) from the smart meter. 

Water/Gas is on 1 meter and don't think plumbed correctly to sub meter.Rehab-Have put around $15,000 of my own money into rehabbing the property.

A few times I have had tenants limit serious damage because they could take the T wrench and go out to the street meter box and turn the water off.
