What happens next
The clock that was already running keeps running. If the date passes with nothing certified, the violation stays open.
What to do
Correct the condition and certify by the original date on the notice. A denial does not restart the clock or open a new window.
If this is on a building you own or manage, you file with HPD directly. We report what the city publishes; we do not file for anyone. Look up your own building.
If it is on your building and you would rather hand it off, ask us. If we know a firm that files it, we'll tell you who.

Can a denied postponement be appealed?
That is a question for HPD's own process, and we do not advise on it.
Does a denial make the violation worse?
It does not change the violation or its class. It removes the extra time that was requested, so the original certify-by date is the one that counts.
