What happens next
HPD expects the condition corrected and a certification accepted. Until then, the violation counts as open everywhere HPD's data is read, including HPD Online and this site.
What to do
Correct the condition and certify it through HPD's eCertification. If the certify-by date has already passed, the violation stays open: it does not close on its own.
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.

How is Violation Open different from NOV Sent Out?
Both mean the violation is open. NOV Sent Out adds one fact: HPD mailed the notice to the registered address. HPD's data does not say why one status was used rather than the other on a given violation, and we do not guess.
Does an open violation expire?
No. It stays open until a correction is certified and accepted, or HPD closes or dismisses it another way. Age alone does not clear it.
