Requires minimum temperature in senior citizen housing projects to be maintained at 70 degrees from October 1 to May 1.

This bill (A3149) requires landlords of senior citizen housing projects to maintain a minimum indoor temperature of 70°F in all habitable rooms, bathrooms, and water closets from October 1 to May 1 each year. It directly affects landlords managing housing complexes with three or more units exclusively occupied by seniors aged 62 or older. The law specifies temperature must be measured at least one foot from surfaces at the coldest point of regularly used spaces. This raises the current standard under state housing rules, which requires 68°F during most hours of the day in similar dwellings.
