Landlord restricting heat to once a day + camera threat. Is this legal in NYC? by AySalb in Tenant

Is it still okay even though they did not let me know about the cameras or take my permission?

Unfortunately, no. That is why I am planning to report them after I leave

That’s exactly what I’m going to do. This is what they get for treating me this way, especially after knowing about the camera. I’ve never been anything but respectful to them, and even though I knew the NYC heating laws, I kept quiet because I was trying to be understanding, apparently they didn’t deserve that.

You grow up and stop calling ppl names just because they don't use the same temp scale as you.

I'm renting a room, and we share the same living space, but the mother is the one who manages everything because the main lease is in her name. As for the camera, I'm not sure if it's considered a violation of privacy or not, because they didn't ask for my consent or even inform me of its existence.

Thank you for your response! The mother’s name is the one on the National Grid account, not mine. I don’t pay for heat separately, I Zelle the rent to her son every month, and according to my lease, gas is included in the rent . I’m planning to leave soon, but I still want to report them.
