How an HPD water leak 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.

It has issued 2,651 Class B, hazardous, correct within 30 days, and 526 Class A, not hazardous, correct within 90 days.

What happens after an HPD certification is filed
A filed certification is not a closed case. HPD reviews the paperwork, and paperwork it finds insufficient sends the case to Defect Letter Issued, which means filing again. A reinspection that still finds the condition sends it to Invalid Certification instead. The filing date sets the rest: filed by the certify-by date, the violation shows NOV Certified On Time; filed after it, NOV Certified Late. The status glossary explains each one.
