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.

When Manhattan heat and hot water violations are cited, by month

Heat and hot water violations HPD has cited in Manhattan, by calendar month, over the last 36 complete months, so every month is counted across the same three years. January has the most, 6,202. August has the fewest, 1,141.

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 Manhattan, HPD has issued 32,380 Class C heat and hot water violations, immediately hazardous, correct within 24 hours. It has issued 1,483 Class B, hazardous, correct within 30 days, and 899 Class A, not hazardous, correct within 90 days.

Class C is 93.1% of the 34,762 heat and hot water violations recorded in Manhattan.

How often Manhattan heat and hot water violations get certified corrected

A certification is the owner’s statement that the repair is done, and in Manhattan one has been filed on 51.4% of the 32,380 Class C heat and hot water violations. The median wait from inspection to that filing is 9 days; nine in ten land inside 15. The other side of the number: 3,293 violations open past a year with nothing filed.

The status that follows a missed deadline is Not Complied With: no accepted certification by the certify-by date. It sits on 2.1% of Manhattan’s heat and hot water violations.

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

What happens next depends on the date and the review. A certification filed by the certify-by date shows as on time, one filed after it as late. HPD can then find the paperwork insufficient, which is Defect Letter Issued and a second filing, or send an inspector who finds the condition still there, which is Invalid Certification. Each of those has its own page in the glossary.
