How to clear an HPD violation in NYC

1. Fix the condition

Correct the condition described on the Notice of Violation, by the correction date. Keep receipts, invoices and dated photos.

2. Certify the correction by the certify-by date

Submit HPD’s certification of correction for each violation. The notice explains how. HPD may re-inspect to confirm, and falsely certifying can bring penalties.

3. Keep your registration valid

Owners of buildings that must register with HPD need a valid, current registration to certify corrections. If your registration has lapsed, renew it first.

4. Older violations that are already fixed

If a violation was corrected long ago but still shows as open, HPD has a process to request a dismissal or re-inspection. The options depend on when the violation was issued.
