The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) assigns a unique identification number, known as an HPD serial number, to each building in the city. This serial number is used to track the building's compliance with housing codes and regulations, as well as to monitor its status in terms of tenant complaints and violations. The HPD serial number is a critical tool in ensuring safe and habitable housing for New York City residents.

The HPD serial number is assigned to every building in New York City that has more than three units. It is a unique identifier that is used by the HPD to track each building's compliance with housing codes and regulations. When a building is first constructed or renovated, the HPD assigns a serial number to it, and this number is then used to track the building throughout its lifetime. This ensures that the HPD can monitor the building's condition and take action if any issues arise.

The HPD serial number is a vital tool for the HPD in its efforts to ensure safe and habitable housing for all New York City residents. By tracking each building's compliance with housing codes and regulations, the HPD can identify potential issues before they become serious problems. It also allows the HPD to monitor the status of tenant complaints and violations, ensuring that landlords are held accountable for maintaining safe and habitable housing for their tenants. Overall, the HPD serial number plays a critical role in the HPD's efforts to protect the health and safety of New York City residents.

BUILDING REGISTRATION NUMBER Signage containing the serial number assigned to the building . The sign should include the building’s street address, and information about the superintendent, janitor, or housekeeper of the building. (For more details about what is required of the relevant type of signage and notification, see §25-81, Chapter 25, Title 28 of the Rules of the City of New York)

The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) requires all residential buildings in the city to display a serial number sign in a visible location at the entrance to the building. This requirement is outlined in the New York City Administrative Code Section 27-2107, which mandates that the serial number sign must be provided and installed by the building owner or landlord.

The serial number sign serves as a unique identifier for the building and is used by various city agencies to keep track of important information, such as ownership, occupancy, and violations. The sign must be made of durable and weather-resistant materials, such as metal.

According to HPD guidelines, the serial number sign must include the following information:

• The building's assigned serial number, which is provided by the HPD.
• The address of the building, including the street number and name.
• The name of superintendent and contact

The serial number sign must be installed in a visibl preferably near the main entrance or in a location that is easily visible from the street. The sign should be securely mounted to the building, using appropriate hardware and installation methods to ensure that it is not easily removed or damaged.

Failure to comply with the requirements of the HPD serial number sign can result in fines and penalties, as well as potential legal and financial liabilities. Therefore, it is important for building owners and landlords to ensure that their buildings are in compliance with the regulations set forth by the HPD and other city agencies.
