What First No Access To Re-Inspect means on an HPD violation.
HPD went back to see whether the condition was corrected and could not get into the building or apartment. This status marks that first failed visit, and the violation stays open.
93,271 NYC violations inspected since August 7, 2023 have the status First No Access To Re- Inspect Violation, in HPD's data through October 18, 2026.

What happens next
Either HPD tries again or the violation simply stays open until an inspector gets in. Missed visits like this can keep a violation open for months while the building's open count stays high.
What to do
Arrange access for the reinspection: set the appointment with the tenant and keep a note of it. A violation left open by a locked door looks the same as one nobody fixed.
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.

If you rent here
HPD tried to get in to check the repair and could not. Setting up access with your landlord or managing agent moves this forward. Until an inspector gets in and HPD closes it, the violation stays open.

The condition is fixed. Why is the violation still open?
Because HPD counts a violation as corrected only when an inspector sees the fix or HPD accepts a certification. If the inspector could not get in, the violation stays open until one of those happens.
