Westbury, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-11
Service facilities, heat and hot water supply
Operative Text
Owners and operators of multiple dwellings shall be responsible for proper installation, maintenance, condition and operation of service facilities, and for furnishing adequate heat and hot water supply where they have contracted to do so.
Under Westbury, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-11, owners and operators of multiple dwellings bear responsibility for the proper installation, maintenance, condition, and operation of service facilities in their buildings. Where they have agreed by contract to provide heat and hot water, they are also responsible for ensuring those supplies are adequate. The rule places these obligations squarely on the ownership and management side of the landlord-tenant relationship.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 83-11 of Westbury's housing code means that operators of multiple dwellings are expected to keep all service facilities properly installed, maintained, and functioning at all times. Where a lease or other agreement commits the owner to supplying heat and hot water, compliant operators ensure those services meet adequacy standards on an ongoing basis — not just at move-in. Routine inspections, prompt repairs, and clear documentation of maintenance activity are practices generally associated with meeting these obligations.

Under ch. 83 § 83-11, tenants in Westbury multiple dwellings have a basis to expect that service facilities are properly maintained and, where the landlord has contracted to provide heat and hot water, that those services are adequate. If heat, hot water, or other service facilities fall short, tenants may document the conditions with dates and photographs and can raise the violation with local housing or code-enforcement authorities in Westbury. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing law can help residents understand the range of options available, including raising a violation as a defense in relevant proceedings.
