What to watch forⓘ

    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look for droppings, dead insects, or live pests in kitchen cabinets, under the sink, and along baseboards. Feel the radiator or baseboard heater; ask the owner if heat is currently on and what the water temperature is. Check caulking, grout, and paint around windows, doors, and where pipes enter walls for gaps or deterioration.
    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.
    • —Heat / hot water — Lack of heat, hot water, or heating system related issues affecting tenants.
