A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice.

This page is current through September 27, 2026.

Sources.

Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
