Lenders and title companies, please note: These data are historical in nature and should not be relied upon for real estate transactions.

Violations are always associated to an inspection and there can be multiple violation records to one inspection record.

This dataset displays violations of the New York City Housing Maintenance Code or New York State Multiple Dwelling Law issued by Housing Inspectors pursuant to inspections of NYCHA buildings at the request of the NYC Housing Court.

Pursuant to New York City’s Housing Maintenance Code, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issues violations against conditions, in rental dwelling units and buildings, that have been verified to violate the New York City Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) or the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law (MDL). Each row in this dataset contains discrete information about one violation of the New York City Housing Maintenance Code or New York State Multiple Dwelling Law. Each violation is identified using a unique Violation ID. These Laws are in place to provide requirements for the maintenance of residential dwelling units within New York City. Violations are issued by Housing Inspectors after a physical inspection is conducted (except for class I violations which are generally administratively issued). Violations are issued in four classes: Class A (non-hazardous), Class B (hazardous), Class C (immediately hazardous) and Class I (information orders). For more information on violations, see https://www1.nyc.gov/site/hpd/owners/compliance-clear-violations.page The base data for this file is all violations open as of October 1, 2012. Violation data is updated daily. The daily update includes both new violations and updates to the status of previously issued violations. An open violation is a violation which is still active on the Department records. See the status table for determining how to filter for open violations versus closed violations, and within open violations for a more detailed current status. The property owner may or may not have corrected the physical condition if the status is open. The violation status is closed when the violation is observed/verified as corrected by HPD or as certified by the landlord. The processes for having violations dismissed are described at http://www1.nyc.gov/site/hpd/owners/compliance-clear-violations.page Using other HPD datasets, such as the Building File or the Registration File, a user can link together violations issued for given buildings or for given owners.
