What to watch forⓘ

  1. Hazardous violations are open, including mold and pests, fire safety, and building maintenance.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look at common areas like hallways and stairwells for garbage, dirt, or signs of pests like droppings or damage. Check that stairwell doors, hallway doors, and any fire escape access points open freely and are not blocked or damaged. Inspect visible pipes, walls, ceilings, and trim in the unit and common areas for water damage, peeling paint, or structural issues.
    details ▸

    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.
    • —Safety & fire — Blocked, unsafe, or inaccessible exits, hallways, stairs, or fire escape routes.

    Turn on a faucet in the kitchen and bathroom and feel whether hot water arrives, and check radiators or baseboards for warmth when the heat is on.
    details ▸

    Heat is required October 1 through May 31: at least 68°F from 6am to 10pm when it is below 55°F outside, and 62°F overnight whatever the temperature outside. Hot water must be at least 120°F, 24 hours a day, all year.

    If your apartment is colder than that, file a complaint with 311 and keep the service request number so you can track it. Never use a gas oven or range for heat, which can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
