How Do I Get Rid of HPD Violations in NYC?

To clear an HPD violation in NYC, the building owner must correct the cited condition within the compliance window — 24 hours for Class C, 30 days for Class B, 90 days for Class A — then certify the fix to HPD.

• Certification is done online via HPD's eCertification portal or by mail with supporting documentation
• HPD may re-inspect to confirm the condition was resolved before officially closing the violation
• Uncertified violations accrue daily fines and can trigger placement in HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP) — a watchlist of the 250 worst-maintained buildings citywide
• Tenants: a landlord "certifying" a fix doesn't guarantee the work was done — verify the current open violation count at 311tracker.com
