What happens next
From here it is treated as open. It is the rarest status HPD uses, which is worth knowing when you read a building's history: a closed violation almost never comes back, so one that did is unusual.
What to do
Treat it like any open violation: correct the condition and certify it.
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.
