Was the manhole hot because it was in the sun, or from the steam running through the pipe?
If it was from the steam, they're most certainly liable - it should be insulated.

Most likely from below. There have been problems like this in Boston lately too, although no one here has been hurt. (Not that I know of, anyway) The manhole covers can get VERY hot and even explode high into the air from underground pressure.
