What POP/IN-VIO means on a DOB summons at OATH.
A matter recorded POP/IN-VIO is a hearing outcome recorded as in violation. We have not found an official expansion of POP in the city's published documentation for this dataset, and this page does not guess at one.
11,788 DOB summonses heard at OATH/ECB were decided Pop/In-Vio, 7.6% of the 155,556 matters on this record carrying an outcome. 100.0% carry a penalty of record, 1,916 dollars per matter across every one of them.

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
What the record does show is the volume, the share carrying a penalty of record, and the median, which are on the ladder above with their denominators. Those figures do not depend on knowing what the letters stand for.
What to do
Read the decision on the summons itself, which states the outcome in words rather than in an abbreviation, and check it against the city's own record by summons number.
What does POP stand for?
We do not know, and we are not going to guess. Nothing in the published documentation for the city's ECB violations dataset expands it, and a glossary that fills a gap with a plausible-sounding answer is worse than one that states the gap. If you have a decision in hand, the decision says in words what the abbreviation encodes.
Then what is this page for?
The cost. Every figure on the ladder above is counted from the city's own record and is true whether or not the abbreviation is documented. That is the part no one else publishes.
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.
Check your buildingAggregates only. No building and no respondent is named on this page, and nothing here is legal advice: confirm a matter on the city’s own record by summons number before acting on it.
