Receiving an HPD (Department of Housing Preservation and Development) violation can be stressful. These notices often demand corrective action and can result in fines or registration issues if not addressed. At NYC Building Violation Removal & Expediting LLC, we specialize in helping landlords and property owners understand HPD violations, prepare the required documentation, and close violations efficiently so you can avoid fines and legal escalation.
What is an HPD Violation?
HPD issues violations when a residential property fails to meet housing code standards. Common issues include rodent or insect infestations, heat/hot water problems, leaks, mold, broken appliances, lack of smoke/CO detectors, and unsafe conditions. An HPD violation notice will list the defects and a deadline for correction.
Common Types of HPD Violations
- Rodent or insect infestation
- No heat or hot water
- Plumbing leaks and water intrusion
- Unsafe electrical or structural hazards
- Lack of required detectors (smoke/CO)
- Mold or dampness issues
Consequences of Ignoring HPD Violations
Unaddressed HPD violations can lead to daily fines, court actions, and difficulty in renting or selling the building. For landlords, unresolved violations may affect building registrations and result in higher enforcement scrutiny.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Will HPD close a violation without a contractor?
- A: Some minor violations can be self-corrected with proper documentation and photos. Many cases require a licensed contractor and permit—our team will tell you which applies.
- Q: Can HPD fines be reduced?
- A: In certain circumstances fines can be contested or reduced; timely correction and documentation are key. We help submit the required evidence and appeals when applicable.
- Q: Do you handle DOB-related follow-ups too?
- A: Yes — if a repair requires DOB permits or involves DOB enforcement, we coordinate with DOB and handle expediting paperwork as needed.
