Penalty of record divided by every matter in that outcome, rounded to the dollar, over 155,556 matters carrying a recorded outcome, issued September 16, 2023 through September 10, 2026. A penalty of record is the amount a decision set on the day it was decided, not a running figure and not what the city’s books show today. Matters the city leaves unclassified carry no outcome and are not counted here.
What the record shows next
The outcome is still open, and every other status on this page is a place this matter can land. The difference between the cheapest and the costliest of them is decided largely by whether anyone appears.
What to do
Find the hearing date on the summons and confirm it against the city's own record by summons number. A penalty figure attached to a pending matter is the amount at stake, not an amount the hearing office has imposed.
Does a penalty figure on a pending matter mean I owe it?
No. Nothing is decided while a matter is pending. The figure on the record is what the summons puts at stake, and this site never renders it as a running balance.
What happens if nobody appears on the hearing date?
The matter is decided in default, which on this record is the single most expensive outcome at the median. The default page carries the figure and its denominator.
If this is on your building, the correction is filed with HPD directly. Read how it works, and check your own record on the city's sites.
