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.

What happens after an HPD certification is filed
HPD reads the certification before anything closes. Documents with a defect come back as Invalid Certification and have to be filed again. A reinspection that finds the cited condition not properly corrected comes back as False Certification, the worse of the two. A filing made inside the certify-by date shows NOV Certified On Time, and one made outside it NOV Certified Late, which HPD does not accept. Defect Letter Issued is the reverse case: the inspector saw the fix, and the documents are what is missing. The glossary covers each status.
