6 buildingsBoston's Heat Requirements
Unlike many other cities, Boston (and Massachusetts) has strict heating requirements. From October 1 through May 31, landlords must maintain at least 68°F from 7am to 11pm and 64°F from 11pm to 7am. Failure to provide adequate heat is a serious violation.
Buildings with zero heat violations have demonstrated reliable heating systems and responsive management. This is especially important in Boston's older housing stock where aging boilers and furnaces can fail during the coldest months.
What to Ask Before Signing
- What type of heating system does the building have?
- When was the heating system last serviced?
- Is heat included in rent, or do you pay separately?
- Has the building ever had heat outages during winter?
