Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 52 Class C violations: 51 by the original certify-by date, 1 after it. HPD now marks 3 of them Invalid Certification. 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.
