What NOV Certified On Time means on an HPD violation.
The owner filed a certification of correction on or before the certify-by date printed on the notice. The status appears the day the filing is made, and it is the owner's statement, not an inspection. This is the clean outcome for an HPD violation: the work was reported done, and reported in time.
12,283 NYC violations inspected since August 7, 2023 have the status NOV Certified On Time, in HPD's data through September 28, 2026.

What happens next
HPD still marks almost every violation with this status open, so it counts as open. It also stays in the building's public history, where a title search or a lender will see that it was cited.
What to do
Nothing more is expected on this violation. Keep the certification and the proof behind it: if a later inspection disagrees with what was certified, the status can move to Invalid Certification or False Certification.
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.

The owner told HPD the condition was corrected, and filed that statement on time. The filing is not an inspection, and it does not by itself mean an inspector returned to look. If the condition is still there, call 311 and it can be reinspected.

Does certified on time mean HPD reinspected and confirmed the fix?
No. It means the owner certified the correction by the deadline. A reinspection may or may not follow, which is why Invalid Certification and False Certification exist as separate statuses.
How is this different from NOV Certified Late?
Only the timing. Both record a certification the owner filed; late means it was filed after the certify-by date on the notice had passed.
What happens to a certification after HPD accepts it?
Acceptance settles the certification for that violation, and it no longer counts as uncertified. It is one of four ways a filing can end, and a guide covers all four with how long each takes from inspection. The certificate of correction, measured.
