HPD status codes
What NOV SENT OUT means on an HPD violation.
violations carry the status Nov Sent Out on the city record as of August 27, 2026.
What it marks on the record
HPD mailed the Notice of Violation to the building's registered address. The violation is open, and the certify-by clock on the notice is running.
What the record shows next
The record expects a certification of correction by the certify-by date printed on the notice. Hazardous Class C violations carry the shortest windows. If nothing is certified, the status commonly moves to NOT COMPLIED WITH.
What to do
Correct the condition, then certify through HPD's eCertification by the date on the notice. If the notice went to a stale address, update the HPD registration: the clock ran from the mailing date regardless.
If you rent here
If you rent here, this status means HPD already inspected and cited a condition at the building. Check your unit's history on HPD Online by address, and call 311 if the condition affects you and is not fixed.
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.
