Residential Heat Requirements
From October 1 through March 31, the Cook County requires building owners to provide tenants with heat according to the following rules:
- Between 8:30 AM and 10:30 PM, the inside temperature must be at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Between 10:30 PM and 6:30 AM, the inside temperature must be at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
We encourage you to try to communicate your concern with your landlord or managing agent before filing this form.
What You Need to Know
If you are reporting a heat concern for your apartment unit, you must provide your contact information so the Berwyn Public Health District may follow up with you within 24 to 48 hours. However, you have the right to request that your name not be revealed to your landlord/managing agent.
Do Not Report an Emergency Using this Form
To report an emergency, fatality, or imminent life threatening situation please call 911.
