What to watch forⓘ

  1. Hazardous violations are open, including mold and pests, fire safety, and building maintenance.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look under sinks and in corners for droppings, dead insects, or live pests; check walls and ceilings for mold or water stains. Push on stair railings and test whether doors in hallways and stairwells open and close freely without obstruction. Turn on faucets and lights throughout the unit and check the walls, ceilings, and window frames for water damage, peeling paint, or visible cracks.
    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 — Rodent, cockroach, bedbug, or other pest infestation and extermination related issues.
    • —Safety & fire — Blocked, unsafe, or inaccessible exits, hallways, stairs, or fire escape routes.

Bldg maintenance — General building repair, upkeep, and maintenance related housing code violations.

The violation list below shows which conditions are open and when each was cited. If one in your own apartment is still unaddressed, call 311.

  • NYC HPD, ABCs of Housing 2024 (Tenants' Guide) — violation classes
  • NYC HPD, Penalties and Fees — correction deadlines
  • Heat or hot water problems reported in the last five years.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    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.

    • NYC HPD, ABCs of Housing 2024 (Tenants' Guide)
  • Detector violations on record.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look at the walls near the smoke detector and ask the person showing the apartment: "When was this detector last tested?"
    details ▸

    Responsibility is split: the owner provides, installs, and replaces the detectors, while the tenant tests them monthly and replaces the batteries. An open violation means the owner has not yet certified to HPD that the condition was fixed, so a device may still be missing or dead at move-in. A tenant reimburses the owner for a newly installed device, $25 for a smoke or carbon monoxide detector and $50 for a combined unit, and is responsible for replacing one that goes missing or is damaged during the tenancy.

    On a viewing, look for a smoke alarm within fifteen feet of the door of each room used for sleeping, on the ceiling or just below it on the wall, and a carbon monoxide alarm at any height, including one plugged into a hallway outlet. Press the test button, and check that none have been painted over. A chirping alarm usually means a low battery, which is the tenant's to replace, but detectors also sound a separate end-of-life alarm when the device itself has to be replaced by the owner.
