So, I did this, actually, and here's what I found:

Section 602.4 of the International Property Maintenance Code is hereby revised by amending the following: 602.4 Indoor occupiable work spaces shall be supplied with heat during the period from October 1 to March 31 to maintain a minimum temperature of 65° F. (18° C.) during the period the spaces are occupied

So it seems like it's the landlords problem.

But that's what's really at the heart of my inquiry. It's not a warehouse. It seems overwhelming though, that no, there are no regulations regarding this. The boss has also said that they cannot use space heaters, which I understand to a certain extent.

Also, in case anyone was curious, it's a Supercuts, not retail.

I also read this, "You do not have to endure an unsafe office environment. If the office is so cold you can see your breath and there's no reason for it other than a lack of heat, that could be considered a violation."

But it could be different because it's not an office? It's one thing if it was a large factory or something, but another if it's retail, maybe? That's really where my question lies.
