When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 316 Devoe Street, Brooklyn?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 5 Class C violations, all 5 after the original certify-by date. 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.

Yes. HPD's vacate order for the entire building has been in effect since September 17, 2025. Reason on the order: fire damage.
