This year’s Open House New York Weekend, the annual event that lets you inside special NYC buildings and destinations—including some that are typically off-limits—will look a little different. That’s because some of the sites, such as the city’s top new residential development projects, are participating virtually with live or on demand broadcasts.

Your building owner is required to keep the indoor temperature during the day at 68 degrees when it falls below 55 degrees outside. This is called "heat season," and it runs from October 1st through May next year. Your building owner also faces inspections and fines if they don't keep indoor temperatures above 62 degrees overnight.
