HPD Violation Explanation
I received something in the mail the other day claiming I had an open HPD violation on my house since 1998, way before I lived there … it’s a class C violation and reads: provide reseal of all accessible openings to building er1. 328416 I have no idea what this means and the HPD site…
I received something in the mail the other day claiming I had an open HPD violation on my house since 1998, way before I lived there … it’s a class C violation and reads:
provide reseal of all accessible openings to building er1. 328416
I have no idea what this means and the HPD site isn’t particularly helpful. Anyone have an idea?
The letter also said something about having the violation waved by just signing and notarizing that it was taken care of … but i have no idea if it has since I have no idea what it means …
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
YOu can contact the HPD Neighborhood Preservation dept.
They will work with you for free to remove the violations.
Now agreed that HPD is full of hacks no offense but you wont have to pay.
give it a try
i paid those suckers to come and inspect the whole building. i had a hard time finding one key for one of the imots. during the inspection, he went to other units. I found the key for that unit, when he was at another unit.
he saw it, but the report i got back from those clowns months later, he said he didn’t get access to that unit. he did get to see it, but i guess guy was too lazy to correct it on his paper.
lousy lazy sob.
your house and windows and doors sealed up at one time probably because it was vacant or abandoned.
It’s my experience that it doesn’t matter what you do. That violation will probably stay on the hpd database coming in and out of your building’s file for another hundred years.
HPD has been in the midst of a Violation Reissuance Program for the last few years. By their regulations, violations “travel†with the building, not with the owner, so the current owner becomes liable for any violations previously issued. HPD considers Class C violations immediately hazardous and gives owners 24 hours to correct them (and/or can make the repair themselves and fine the owner in the extreme). You can view your violations and certain other information by clicking on the second to bottom link of this page: http://www.nyc.gov/html/hpd/html/owners/owners.shtml
BTW, if you self-certify that the violation has been corrected, there’s still a good chance that HPD will visit your building and check the cure themselves.

I meant “waived” not waved …
