One line per building, newest day first. These are buildings that have a page on this site, picked by the day of the inspection, not ranked by how bad they are.

Open HPD violations by borough

The five boroughs add up to the 1,154,736 open violations issued since August 7, 2023 in the class table. Each condition link opens that borough's page for one condition, with its violations by month and by street.

The condition pages count every violation cited for one condition over three years, open or closed, which is a different measure from the open counts here.

How do I look up HPD violations?

Both ways below are free, and each HPD violation lookup in NYC starts from the address. Ours puts the building's other city records on the same page.

How do I look up HPD violations on ViolationScout?

1. Type the address, the BBL or the number on an HPD notice into the box at the top of this page, then press Look up.
2. Read the building's page: its open HPD violations by class, with its OATH/ECB summonses and DOB matters on the same page.
3. Open any status on the building's page to read what it means and what happens next.

How do I look up HPD violations on HPD Online?

1. Go to HPD Online and enter the property address.
2. Open the building's violations and read each one's class and status.

What the status on your violation means

The status on an HPD violation says where it stands between the notice and the close. Six statuses, each on its own page:

• CIV14 Mailed
• Info NOV Sent Out
• NOV Sent Out
• NOV Certified On Time
• Defect Letter Issued
• First No Access To Re-Inspect

Every HPD status, and every OATH hearing outcome on a DOB summons, is decoded on the status codes page.

Questions about HPD violations

What do Class A, B and C mean?

The class is HPD's hazard rating, and it sets the time to correct. Class A is not hazardous and gets 90 days, Class B is hazardous and gets 30, and Class C is immediately hazardous and gets 24 hours for most conditions, with the exceptions in HPD's correction table. The time runs from the date the notice is served.

What does "open" mean on an HPD violation?

HPD marks every violation open or closed, and this page counts the ones HPD still marks open. A violation stays open until HPD closes or dismisses it, even after the repair is done.

How do I certify or clear an HPD violation?

The owner corrects the condition and certifies the correction with HPD within the time its class allows. HPD then tells the tenant, who can challenge the certification, and an inspector may come back to look. A violation that missed its certification time can need a Dismissal Request, an application with a fee that brings an inspector back. How a certificate of correction works.

Who do I call about an HPD violation?

Call the HPD Borough Service Center in the building's borough. Its Code Enforcement staff give information about the violations at a property and how to address them, and HPD lists each center's address and phone number on its Borough Service Centers page. HPD also books virtual and phone appointments with that office online. Help with a lead paint certification comes from HPD's Lead Hotline at 212-863-5501.

Is this the same data as HPD Online?

Yes. Both come from HPD's Housing Maintenance Code Violations data, which the city publishes on NYC Open Data. The open counts on this page cover every year the city holds and run to the date at the top of the page, so HPD Online can show violations recorded since. The second column counts only violations issued since August 7, 2023. How we count.

Does a violation still show after the owner fixes it?

Yes, until HPD closes it. A certification is the owner's word that the work is done. If an inspector finds the condition still there, HPD marks it False Certification and the violation stays open.

Where the data comes from

HPD publishes every violation on NYC Open Data as Housing Maintenance Code Violations, and HPD Online shows the same violations one building at a time. Many begin as a tenant's complaint to 311.

A building page here adds what those two do not: OATH/ECB summonses and DOB matters on the same page as the HPD violations, the certifications filed against them, and, where the data allows, whether certifications are keeping up with new violations.

What an HPD violation is and how one moves through the agency: HPD violations, explained. Each class and its certification record: the class guide.
