What happens next
The violation stays open while the paperwork is redone. The rejection is about the filing, not the work, so a correction that was really made can still end up here.
What to do
Refile with the documents HPD requires. Lead abatement must be done by an EPA-certified firm and documented to HPD's standard, and HPD holds the paperwork to that standard as strictly as the work.
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.
