My landlord now has to pay for all of my utilities as required by NYC law (my landlord is sneaky and they obviously knew about the shared meter all this time).Was this promise in writing?
This means, as a renter, you’re paying for service you aren’t actually using. Turns out my neighbors’ gas got shut off as well. If you recently stopped service and have a smart meter, your final bill will be based on your actual usage up until when your service stops. What makes the meters "smart" is their ability to provide detailed and accurate analytics on electrical usage in real-time or at predetermined intervals, all without a technician. Con Edison's account services and customer-specific information are solely intended for use by the customer who is the account holder or the customer's authorized agent. In this case, says Kalson, the first step is to call Con Edison to investigate a possible shared meter condition. I already save a few hundred each month as is, so if for some reason I got dicked, I'd be OK. You sound like a responsible tenant.The fact that they've maintained this arrangement for your neighbors and the previous tenants makes it seem like you're pretty safe. You can either pay for Con Edison to read your meter within two days of closing your account or, if you have access to your meter, you can A tenant with a shared meter is also paying for service that is used outside his or her dwelling. Turns out my neighbors’ gas got shut off as well.
Shared Meter w/ConEd.
Apparently the reason I didn't get a notice in the mail is because I'm not an account holder yet (because they can't legally set up an account for me with a shared meter).
So I know the rule says "150 days after a shared meter investigation begins, if the condition has not been corrected, the landlord will continue to pay electricity until the shared meter condition is resolved." I found out because I don’t cook and had called to shut my gas off.
Anyways, thanks for listening.As it turns out, we share an electric meter with our neighbors next door.
She explained that all of this is on record, and since it's been over 150 days since the claim was filed, the electricity is indeed my landlord's responsibility.So I guess it makes sense that ol' Landy said fuck it, and just pays the bill - but I'm sketched out. I found out because I don’t cook and had called to shut my gas off.
My rent stayed the same since I moved in, and they promised they would never raise the rent. This law may be found in Section 52 of the Public Service Law of New York State. A Shared Meter Is: Any residential utility meter that measures gas, electric or steam service used outside a tenant’s dwelling.

Apparently, to get both apartments on one meter would entail knocking out the wall on 2 stories, rewiring four separate units, losing tenants for at least a month to do the work, et.
This has allegedly been the case forever, and neither the previous tenant or my neighbors have been charged for any electricity - the landlord has covered it.
There are 3 meters in the building and 2 units. We got a letter from Con Edison which said that if a landlord has a shared meter for electricity they are responsible for paying ALL apartments electric bills.
I’ve talked with other tenants on my floor and in my building and they’ve said none of their rent has ever increased the many years they’ve lived there. Not only that, but it seems that during the current crisis, they are not going out and reading the meters so they are "estimating" everyone's usage. Worst case scenario: you've got a little safety net in the unlikely event you get charged.
Is there nothing I can do about this? Violators will be prosecuted. With regards to reimbursement for the utilities, that, I believe, you are entitled to. I’ve talked with other tenants on my floor and in my building and they’ve said none of their rent has ever increased the many years they’ve lived there. The lower unit houses the meters - 1 electrical per unit, which are in the tenants' names, and 1 gas meter for the heat which the landlord pays as the heat is shared for the whole building. First Floor/ Basement Duplex - Shared Meter Issue - ConEd. And is there a way I can get reimbursed for all the utilities I have already paid?
