HPD status codes
What LEAD DOCS SUBMITTED, NOT ACCEPTABLE means.
violations carry the status Lead Docs Submitted, Not Acceptable on the city record as of August 31, 2026.
What it marks on the record
The owner filed lead paint documentation with HPD and the agency rejected the filing. Lead is the only category where HPD records this document review as a status of its own.
What the record shows next
The violation stays open while the paperwork is redone. Rejection is a decision about the filing, not about the underlying work, so a correction that was genuinely performed can still land here.
What to do
Refile with the documentation HPD requires. Lead abatement work must be performed by an EPA-certified firm and documented to the agency's standard, and the standard applies to the paperwork as strictly as to the work.
If you rent here
The owner submitted lead paperwork and HPD did not accept it. The violation is still open on the record.
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.
How often does HPD reject lead documentation?
More often than it accepts it. The measured rate, with its denominator and pull date, is on the lead paint abatement record.
Does a rejected filing stop the clock?
No. The violation remains open while the documentation is corrected and resubmitted.
