Evidence of this project's impact
Through New York City’s Heat Sensors Program, which Heat Seek worked to establish through legislation in 2019, the city’s worst landlords must now install temperature sensors in their buildings, allow the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to monitor the data, and submit to bi-weekly inspections by the HPD until they can prove the heat problems in their building have been resolved.

The Flatbush Tenant Coalition filed a lawsuit last year, using data from Heat Seek. (Source) — 2018-10
