New York Legal Info

The practice of billing rental residents for utilities is allowed in the state of New York with a few restrictions. An application must be submitted to the Public Service Commission and approved prior to the start of a submetering system installation. The application requires specific information about the submetering system and the safeguards protecting the tenant’s rights and the language in the lease agreement describing the specifics. In addition to the above rules, the city of New York has extra regulations to monitor pollution and enforce water conservation.

This requirement applies to several different areas of the USA. The license has to remain current and valid while doing business in these regions.

New York Submetering

According to the New York Public Service Law, the state of New York Authorizes residential electric submetering and determines the Public Service Commission holds authority over submetering. The state also authorizes landlords to charge residents up to, but not more than, the direct metered utility rate for electricity. It establishes different provisions for master metered, rent stabilized or controlled buildings converting from rent inclusion to submetering and for new construction and market rate buildings. At Multifamily Utility we work closely with all local, state and national agencies to ensure every meter we install is compliant with the laws set forth by the state of New York. We will even mail the equipment to the appropriate agency before installation if that is required. As one of the leading utility submetering and billing companies in the state we have access to some of the best equipment and are able to design a submetering system that will help you meet the needs of your property. Some of the industry leading manufacturers we work with include Norgas, IMS, Hexagram, Wellspring and American Meter just to name a few. By working with these industry leading manufacturers we are able to design submetering systems for any situation. Some of the advantages that come with submetering your property include conservation, better leak detection, improved property value, less administrative work and fewer operational expenses.
