How a violation reaches this record

Most rows here start with a tenant's call to 311. HPD schedules an inspection, and if an inspector confirms the condition, HPD issues a violation and mails the owner a Notice of Violation. From that point the violation is searchable on HPD Online by address. It stays on the public record used throughout this site until the agency accepts a correction or the agency closes the case another way. See how HPD, DOB, and OATH/ECB fit together.

By class

HPD sorts every water leaks violation into one of three classes, and the class sets the correction window and how urgently an owner must act. In Bronx, HPD has issued 9,659 Class C water leaks violations, immediately hazardous, correct within 24 hours. It has issued 58,791 Class B, hazardous, correct within 30 days, and 9,175 Class A, not hazardous, correct within 90 days.

9,175Class A: not hazardous, correct within 90 days.
58,791Class B: hazardous, correct within 30 days.
9,659Class C: immediately hazardous, correct within 24 hours.

Class C is 12.4% of the 77,625 water leaks violations recorded in Bronx.

The certification record

Of 9,659 Class C water leaks violations in Bronx, 3,903 have ever been certified corrected, 40.4%. Correction took a median of 14 days and a 90th percentile of 32 days. 3,757 have sat open more than a year with no certification on file.

3.1% of water leaks violations in Bronx are currently marked Not Complied With, HPD's status once the certify-by date passes without an accepted certification.

After a certification is filed

Filing a certification does not automatically close a case. If HPD reviews the paperwork and finds it insufficient, the case moves to Defect Letter Issued and the owner must refile. If a reinspection later finds the condition still uncorrected despite a certification on file, the case moves to Invalid Certification. A certification accepted after the certify-by date is marked NOV Certified Late rather than on time; one accepted before it is marked NOV Certified On Time. Each of these statuses carries its own page in the status glossary, decoded in plain language.

Against the citywide figure
