What Certification Postponment Granted means on an HPD violation.
The owner asked HPD for more time to certify the correction, and HPD agreed. The certify-by date moved, and the violation itself is still open.
2,430 NYC violations inspected since August 7, 2023 have the status Certification Postponment Granted, in HPD's data through September 28, 2026.

What happens next
A new certify-by date applies. If nothing is certified by then, the violation follows the usual path and commonly reaches Not Complied With.
What to do
Certify by the extended date. A postponement moves the deadline; it does not reduce what has to be corrected.
If this is on a building you own or manage, you file with HPD directly. We report what the city publishes; we do not file for anyone. Look up your own building.
If it is on your building and you would rather hand it off, ask to be introduced to one firm that files it.

Does a postponement mean the violation was excused?
No. It moves the deadline for certifying the correction. The violation stays open and the work is still expected.
Why is Postponment spelled that way?
That is how HPD spells it in its own list of statuses, and we print the city's wording as written rather than quietly correcting it.
