What is HPD and How Does NYC Housing Code Enforcement Work?
HPD (Housing Preservation and Development) enforces NYC's Housing Maintenance Code to ensure safe and habitable residential buildings. HPD issues violations for conditions like heat/hot water failures, lead paint hazards, pests, and structural defects. Landlords must correct violations within specified timeframes or face OATH hearings and fines.
