HPD Notices of Violation (NOVs)
HPD Housing Inspectors may issue 3 different classes of HPD violations, and although there is no fine associated with these violations, each require correction and owner certification within a specific mandated time frame. Class A violations, which are considered non-hazardous, require correction within 90 days of receipt, Class B "hazardous" violations require correction within 30 days of receipt, and Class C, "immediately hazardous" violations require correction within 24 hours of receipt, except for Class C Lead and Window Guard violations, which allow 21 days for correction.
Certification by property owners or managing agents affirm that the violating conditions noted in the violation have been corrected within the required timeframe. Certification can occur by mail or via eCertification, which is required 14 days after the correction date for Class A & B violations, or 5 days after the correction date for Class C violations.
If an owner fails to correct a Class C violation within the required time frame, HPD's Division of Maintenancemay perform emergency repairs at the owner's expense, which, if unpaid, may result in a tax lien against the property. Additionally, uncorrected violations may result in civil penalties being imposed by the HPD's Housing Litigation Division.
