What to watch forⓘ

  1. Hazardous violations are open, including building maintenance, heat and hot water, and water and plumbing.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look at walls, ceilings, and floors for cracks, water stains, peeling paint, or soft spots in plaster. Turn on the heat and listen for whether hot water flows from a radiator or baseboard within two minutes. Check under sinks and around toilets for leaks, discoloration, or soft flooring.
    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.
    • —Heat / hot water — Lack of heat, hot water, or heating system related issues affecting tenants.

    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.

    • NYC HPD, ABCs of Housing 2024 (Tenants' Guide) — the requirement
    • NYC HPD, Smoke, Carbon Monoxide, and Natural Gas Detectors — responsibilities, placement, and reimbursement

    • The most recent HPD activity on file is from 2016, so current conditions may differ.
