It depends on the size of the apartment and how many units are in the complex. However, the City of Philadelphia Department of L&I states: In buildings with two or more apartments, the landlord must supply heat at a temperature of 68 degrees for each apartment from October 1 through April 30 and during May and September when the outside temperature falls below 60 degrees. See the link for L&I's pamphlet on housing in Philadelphia. Those requirements are also found in the City Code at PM-406.2.
