What Violation Dismissed means on an HPD violation.
HPD dismissed the violation, and it no longer counts as open. Dismissal commonly follows a reinspection that found the condition corrected, or an administrative review.
925,604 NYC violations inspected since August 7, 2023 have the status Violation Dismissed, in HPD's data through September 28, 2026.

What happens next
Nothing more is expected on this violation. The dismissal stays in the building's history, which lenders and title searches read.
What to do
Keep the dismissal in the building's file: closings and refinances go faster when the history is documented rather than reconstructed.
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
This violation is closed and no longer counts as open. If the condition is still there, that needs a new complaint: call 311, or check HPD Online for the building's current violations.
Is a dismissed violation gone?
It stops counting as open, but it stays in the building's public history.
How does a violation actually get dismissed?
A separate guide covers it with the numbers: how often violations are dismissed and how long it takes from inspection. It also explains what separates a dismissed violation from one that is simply closed. Read the dismissal guide.
