What this means

No heat in winter, or no hot water at any time of year, is an immediately hazardous Class C condition. The owner has to restore service and certify the repair with HPD, and the violation stays open until HPD accepts that certification or closes the case.

How an HPD heat and hot water violation gets issued

Most of these violations start with a tenant's call to 311. HPD schedules an inspection, and if the inspector confirms the condition, HPD issues a violation and mails the owner a Notice of Violation. From then on anyone can look it up on HPD Online by address, and it stays open until HPD accepts a correction or closes the case another way. See how HPD, DOB, and OATH/ECB fit together.

Heat and hot water violations by class: A, B and C

HPD sorts every heat and hot water violation into one of three classes, and the class sets the correction window and how urgently an owner must act. In Brooklyn, HPD has issued 44,827 Class C heat and hot water violations, immediately hazardous, correct within 24 hours. It has issued 1,718 Class B, hazardous, correct within 30 days, and 945 Class A, not hazardous, correct within 90 days.

Class C is 94.4% of the 47,491 heat and hot water violations recorded in Brooklyn.

How often Brooklyn heat and hot water violations get certified corrected

Brooklyn carries 44,827 Class C heat and hot water violations, and 6,591 of them have stood open more than a year with no certification on file. 20,640 have been certified corrected at some point, 46.0%, at a median of 10 days from inspection and 17 days at the 90th percentile.

1.9% of Brooklyn’s heat and hot water violations are now marked Not Complied With, the status HPD sets once the certify-by date passes with no accepted certification.

A Class C heat or hot water violation has a 24-hour correction window under the city's code, and the notice sets a later date to certify the repair. The heat violation guide shows how long certification actually takes against that date, and where cases stop.

What happens after an HPD certification is filed

Filing does not end the matter. The certify-by date decides whether the violation shows NOV Certified On Time or NOV Certified Late. If the paperwork falls short, the case moves to Defect Letter Issued and the owner files again. If a reinspection contradicts it, the case moves to Invalid Certification. The status glossary has all of them.
