55,727 heat and hot water violations cited in the Bronx over the last three years.

What this means

No heat in winter, or no hot water at any time of year, is an immediately hazardous Class C condition. The owner has to restore service and certify the repair with HPD, and the violation stays open until HPD accepts that certification or closes the case.

How an HPD heat and hot water violation gets issued

Most of these violations start with a tenant's call to 311. HPD schedules an inspection, and if the inspector confirms the condition, HPD issues a violation and mails the owner a Notice of Violation. From then on anyone can look it up on HPD Online by address, and it stays open until HPD accepts a correction or closes the case another way. See how HPD, DOB, and OATH/ECB fit together.

When Bronx heat and hot water violations are cited, by month

Heat and hot water violations HPD has cited in the Bronx, by calendar month, over the last 36 complete months, so every month is counted across the same three years. January has the most, 10,683. August has the fewest, 1,521.

Heat and hot water violations by class: A, B and C

HPD sorts every heat and hot water violation into one of three classes, and the class sets the correction window and how urgently an owner must act. In the Bronx, HPD has issued 54,015 Class C heat and hot water violations, immediately hazardous, with no time to correct before civil penalties can apply. It has issued 2,674 Class B, hazardous, correct within 30 days, and 630 Class A, not hazardous, correct within 90 days. The windows are from HPD's correction table.

Class C is 94.2% of the 57,319 heat and hot water violations recorded in the Bronx.

How often Bronx heat and hot water violations get certified corrected

29,504 of the Bronx’s 54,015 Class C heat and hot water violations have ever been certified corrected, 54.6%. Those certifications came a median of 9 days after the inspection, and 14 days at the 90th percentile. 5,677 have gone more than a year with no certification at all, 10.5% of the class.

3.0% of the Bronx’s heat and hot water violations are now marked Not Complied With, the status HPD sets when a reinspection finds the condition still there.

HPD's correction table gives no time to correct a Class C heat or hot water violation before civil penalties can apply, and the notice sets a later date to certify the repair. The heat violation guide shows how long certification actually takes against that date, and where cases stop.

What happens after an HPD certification is filed

A filed certification is not a closed case. HPD reviews the documents, and documents with a defect send the case to Invalid Certification, which means filing again. A reinspection that finds the condition not properly corrected sends it to False Certification instead. The filing date sets the rest: filed by the certify-by date, the violation shows NOV Certified On Time; filed after it, NOV Certified Late, which HPD does not accept. Defect Letter Issued is the inspector seeing the condition corrected while HPD still waits on documents. The status glossary explains each one.
