How an HPD lead paint 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 Staten Island lead paint violations are cited, by month

Lead paint violations HPD has cited on Staten Island, by calendar month, over the last 36 complete months, so every month is counted across the same three years. January has the most, 72. September has the fewest, 22.

Lead paint violations by class: A, B and C

HPD sorts every lead paint violation into one of three classes, and the class sets the correction window and how urgently an owner must act. On Staten Island, HPD has issued 508 Class C lead paint violations, immediately hazardous, correct within 21 days. It has issued 84 Class B, hazardous, correct within 30 days, and 0 Class A, not hazardous, correct within 90 days. The windows are from HPD's correction table.

Class C is 85.8% of the 592 lead paint violations recorded on Staten Island.

How often Staten Island lead paint violations get certified corrected

70 of Staten Island’s 508 Class C lead paint violations have ever been certified corrected, 13.8%. Those certifications came a median of 32 days after the inspection, and 274 days at the 90th percentile. 163 have gone more than a year with no certification at all, 32.1% of the class.

When an inspector goes back and finds the condition still there, HPD marks the violation Not Complied With. On Staten Island that is 0.3% of lead paint violations.

Lead paint takes longer to certify than any of the other five categories, and the violations that name abatement take roughly twice as long again. Abatement and certification, measured.

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.
