What NOV Certified On Time means on an HPD violation.

The owner filed a certification of correction on or before the certify-by date printed on the notice. The status appears the day the filing is made, and it is the owner's statement, not an inspection. This is the clean outcome for an HPD violation: the work was reported done, and reported in time.

14,343 NYC violations inspected since August 7, 2023 have the status NOV Certified On Time, in HPD's data through October 18, 2026.

What happens next

HPD still marks almost every violation with this status open, so it counts as open. It also stays in the building's public history, where a title search or a lender will see that it was cited.

What to do

Nothing more is expected on this violation. Keep the certification and the proof behind it: if a later inspection disagrees with what was certified, the status can move to False Certification.

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

The owner told HPD the condition was corrected, and filed that statement on time. The filing is not an inspection, and it does not by itself mean an inspector returned to look. If the condition is still there, call 311 and it can be reinspected.

Buildings with violations reading NOV Certified On Time

12 of the 1,569 buildings with a page on this site that have violations reading NOV Certified On Time, a different 12 each week, listed by street. Each count matches the Status column on that building’s page.

Does certified on time mean HPD reinspected and confirmed the fix?

No. It means the owner certified the correction by the deadline. A reinspection may or may not follow. When one finds the condition not properly corrected, the status becomes False Certification.

How is this different from NOV Certified Late?

Both record a certification the owner filed. HPD's status list calls the on-time one proper and the late one not acceptable, and a late one leaves the owner a Dismissal Request as the route to clear the violation.

What happens to a certification after HPD accepts it?

Acceptance settles the certification for that violation, and it no longer counts as uncertified. It is one of four ways a filing can end, and a guide covers all four with how long each takes from inspection. The certificate of correction, measured.
