Homeowner and Tenant Tips for Winterizing

While we ensure your building is built properly and to code, there is also plenty you can do to help yourself and your safety - especially during these colder months. If you are an NYC homeowner or tenant, here are a few things you can do (or talk to your landlord about doing) in order to winterize your home:

• Weatherproof doors and windows to prevent heat loss.
• Check your attic for proper insulation or have better insulation installed.
• Schedule your routine heating system maintenance. Clean and/or replace filters. 
• Keep space heaters away from flammable items and never leave the house or apartment with one left on. 
• Remove snow and rainwater form roofs and drains regularly to prevent the formation of leaks. 
• Shut valves to outdoor water pipes and properly insulate all other pipes to prevent freezing and/or bursting.
