What to watch forⓘ

  1. Hazardous violations are open, including building maintenance, mold and pests, and fire safety.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look at baseboards, trim, and door frames for signs of warping, soft spots, or gaps; check walls and ceilings in corners and under sinks for discoloration or staining. Open kitchen and bathroom cabinets and look for droppings, dead insects, or live pests in corners and along edges. Test that doors and windows on fire escape routes open freely, and look for blocked or cluttered hallways or stairwells.
    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.

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

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.

  • ABCs of Housing
  • NYC HPD, Penalties and Fees
  • Heat or hot water problems reported in the last five years.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Turn on hot water at the kitchen sink and bathroom sink and feel the water temperature after running for one minute.
    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.

    • ABCs of Housing
  • Lead-paint violations on record.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look for paint that is peeling, chipped, or cracked on interior walls, trim, windows, doors, and door frames.
    details ▸

    Buildings built before 1960 may still contain lead-based paint, which causes behavioral and learning problems in young children, who can swallow dust and paint chips from windowsills and floors.

    If a child under six lives with you, or spends 10 or more hours a week in your apartment, tell the owner in writing, which is what obliges them to inspect annually. Report peeling paint, and call 311 if it is not fixed or if repair work is raising dust that is not being contained.
