HPD status codes

What CERTIFICATION POSTPONMENT GRANTED means on an HPD violation.

2,361

violations carry the status Certification Postponment Granted on the city record as of August 31, 2026.

What it marks on the record

The owner asked HPD for more time to certify the correction and the agency agreed. The certify-by date moved. The violation itself is still open.

What the record shows next

A new certify-by date applies. If nothing is certified by it, the case follows the ordinary path and commonly reaches NOT COMPLIED WITH.

What to do

Certify by the extended date. A postponement moves the deadline; it does not reduce what has to be corrected.

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.

Does a postponement mean the violation was excused?

No. It moves the deadline for certifying the correction. The violation stays open and the work is still expected.

Why is POSTPONMENT spelled that way?

That is the spelling HPD publishes in its own status field, and this site prints city data as the city writes it rather than silently correcting it.
