Deadlines vary by condition: immediate for heat and hot water, 14 days for self-closing doors, 21 days for lead paint, window guards, mold, and mice, cockroaches or rats, and 24 hours for everything else. They run from the date the owner is served, and mark when civil penalties can be sought in Housing Court. They are not a promise the condition is fixed by then. If the owner does not fix it, HPD can send its own contractor and bill them.
- Mold & pests — Dirty or poorly maintained common areas, garbage accumulation, and inadequate building cleaning services.
- Heat / hot water — Lack of heat, hot water, or heating system related issues affecting tenants.
