HPD Violation Classes Explained

HPD classifies violations into three categories based on severity. Understanding the class tells you how serious a condition is and how quickly your landlord is legally required to fix it.

Class A — Non-Hazardous

Minor Maintenance Issues

Non-hazardous conditions like broken mailboxes, missing door numbers, minor plumbing defects, or cosmetic damage. Annoying but not a health risk.

Must fix within 90 days
Class B — Hazardous

Health or Safety Risk

Conditions that pose a health or safety risk: inadequate lighting, pests (mice, cockroaches), inadequate ventilation, mold, or lack of required fire safety equipment.

Must fix within 30 days
Class C — Immediately Hazardous

Requires Immediate Action

The most serious category: no heat or hot water, lead paint hazards, severe rodent infestations, vermin in walls, sewage conditions, or broken windows posing injury risk.

Must fix within 24 hours

FAQ

HPD Violations — Common Questions

How do I look up HPD violations for an NYC address?
Download the NYC Intel app (free, no account needed), enter any NYC address, and tap HPD Violations to see all open and historical violations filed by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
What is a Class C HPD violation?
Class C violations are the most serious HPD violations, classified as "immediately hazardous." These include no heat, no hot water, rodent infestations, lead paint hazards, and other conditions requiring immediate correction. Landlords must correct Class C violations within 24 hours.
Are NYC HPD violations public record?
Yes. All HPD violations are public record, maintained by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development and available through NYC Open Data. NYC Intel pulls this data daily so you always see the latest violations.
What is the difference between open and closed HPD violations?
An open HPD violation means the condition has been reported but not certified as corrected. A closed violation means the landlord has certified the fix and HPD has verified it. NYC Intel shows both open and historical violations so you can see a building's full record.
How many HPD violations is too many for a NYC apartment?
There is no hard threshold, but more than 5–10 open violations per unit is a red flag, especially if any are Class B or C. Multiple open Class C violations or a pattern of repeat violations for the same conditions suggests a landlord who is not maintaining the building.
Can I look up HPD violations before signing a lease?
Absolutely — and you should. NYC Intel's Renter Check feature lets you search any address before you sign. You'll see HPD violations alongside eviction history, 311 complaints, and rat activity so you can make an informed decision.
