When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 226 West 78 Street, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 8 Class C violations: 4 by the original certify-by date, 4 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Where do these numbers come from?
