What happens next

This is where violations go quiet. HPD sets Not Complied With after a reinspection confirms the condition is still there, so a violation nobody can get in to reinspect can stay open for years without ever being marked that way.

What to do

Arrange access. If no reinspection can happen, the violation stays open whether or not the work was done, and an owner who corrected the condition gets no credit until an inspector sees it or a certification is accepted.

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.

If you rent here

An inspector tried twice to get in and could not. If the condition is still there, calling 311 puts the request back in the queue and access can be arranged.
