Anyone out there have experience clearing old HPD violations? I inherited a dozen of silly HPD violations when i purchased my home in 2004 (these are dating back to 1999-2001, the result of a contentious relationship between the previous owner and a tenant). Most are for things like chipped paint and floor tiles. At closing, my bank put some $ in escrow until these are cleared up. now that times are tight i’m looking to get my money out of escrow. i’ve fixed all the items listed in the violations but am concerned about inviting an inspector into my building, fearing that they’ll find lots of other silly things. are my fears unfounded? will they simply look at the violations on the books or are they more thorough?

thanks…
