What Lead Docs Submitted, Acceptable means.

The owner filed lead paint documentation with HPD, and HPD accepted it. This status appears only on lead-based paint violations, where HPD tracks the document review separately from the correction itself.

291 NYC violations inspected since August 7, 2023 have the status Lead Docs Submitted, Acceptable, in HPD's data through September 28, 2026.

What happens next

The filing passed HPD's review. That makes it the less common of the two lead-document outcomes: HPD rejects more of these filings than it accepts.

What to do

Keep the accepted documents. Lead paperwork is what gets asked for again most often, at a sale or refinance and when the apartment next turns over.

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 an accepted filing mean the lead hazard is gone?

It means the documentation met HPD's requirements. Whether the violation itself is closed is a separate question, answered by the violation's own current status.

How does this compare with rejected lead filings?

Rejections outnumber acceptances. The counts and the rate are in our lead paint guide.
