How an HPD mold 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.

The median wait from inspection to that filing is 32 days; nine in ten land inside 192. The other side of the number: 94 violations open past a year with nothing filed.

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.
