HPD status codes
What CERTIFICATION POSTPONMENT DENIED means on an HPD violation.
violations carry the status Certification Postponment Denied on the city record as of August 31, 2026.
What it marks on the record
The owner asked HPD for more time to certify and the agency refused. The original certify-by date on the notice still stands.
What the record shows next
The clock that was already running keeps running. If the date passes without an accepted certification, the status commonly moves to NOT COMPLIED WITH.
What to do
Correct and certify against the original date on the notice. A denial does not restart anything or create a new window.
If you rent here
The owner asked for more time on this correction and did not get it. The original deadline applies.
If you own or manage this building, correct the violation and file the certification directly with HPD. This page only tracks the public record. How to read it, and check your own building.
Can a denied postponement be appealed?
That is a question for HPD's own process. This page reads the public record and does 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.
