New York Radiator Burn Lawyers

A radiator burn may occur when the unit is excessively hot due to a malfunction or failure to properly maintain the heating system.

The surfaces of the components of these systems are capable of reaching temperatures as high as 82-110°C (180-230°F). If a metallic surface temperature exceeds 70°C, it may present a burn hazard regardless of the contact duration.
It is common knowledge that hot surfaces can cause burn injuries. The danger is presented by a combination of the heat hazard and the length of exposure.

For extremely high-temperature metallic surfaces greater than 70°C (158°F), a serious burn injury occurs almost instantaneously upon contact. For contact periods up to one second in duration, the recommended maximum surface temperature for un-coated metals is 65-70°C and 75-85°C for coated metal surfaces.

Many residential apartments are heated by steam heating systems. These systems have vertical steam pipes and radiators that are exposed within the unit. Thus, they present a danger of causing a contact burn injury if they are not properly regulated and maintained.

The surfaces of the components of these systems are capable of reaching temperatures as high as 82-110°C (180-230°F). If a metallic surface temperature exceeds 70°C, it may present a burn hazard regardless of the contact duration. The exposed surface temperature of a metallic radiator that exceeds 70°C must be reduced, covered or insulated.

The owner of a premises and a managing agent has a duty to keep its premises safe for reasonable use. The failure to do so is negligence and the owner or managing agent may be held liable for the injuries and damages caused.
