NY A01669

Requires landlords to install radiator covers on uncovered radiators exceeding 165 degrees Fahrenheit within 90 days of a written tenant request if a child age 12 or younger resides in the dwelling.

Radiator covers must ensure the outer surface temperature does not exceed 109 degrees Fahrenheit and apply only to radiators located within the tenant's dwelling unit.

Landlord failure to install requested radiator covers constitutes a breach of the warranty of habitability, creating conditions dangerous or detrimental to health and safety.

Permits tenants to deduct reasonable installation costs from rent and prohibits eviction based on such deductions if the landlord fails to install covers within 90 days.

Voids any lease provisions that waive or modify tenant rights under this section as contrary to public policy.
