How an HPD water leak 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.

Water leak violations by class: A, B and C

On Staten Island, HPD has issued 539 Class C water leak violations, immediately hazardous, correct within 24 hours. It has issued 2,719 Class B, hazardous, correct within 30 days, and 539 Class A, not hazardous, correct within 90 days. The windows are from HPD's correction table.

A certification is the owner’s statement that the repair is done, and on Staten Island one has been filed on 33.4% of the 539 Class C water leak violations. The median wait from inspection to that filing is 15 days; nine in ten land inside 27. The other side of the number: 51 violations open past a year with nothing filed.
1.1% of Staten Island’s water leak violations are now marked Not Complied With, the status HPD sets when a reinspection finds the condition still there.
What happens after an HPD certification is filed
What happens next depends on the date and the review. A certification filed by the certify-by date shows as on time, one filed after it as late, and HPD does not accept a late one. HPD can then find a defect in the documents, which is Invalid Certification and a second filing, or send an inspector who finds the condition not properly corrected, which is False Certification. When an inspector sees the condition corrected but documents are missing, the status is Defect Letter Issued. Each of those has its own page in the glossary.
