HPD (Housing Preservation & Development) violations are housing code violations in NYC residential buildings, covering issues like heat, lead paint, pests, and structural problems. You can search HPD violations for free through the official HPD Online portal (hpdonline.nyc.gov) by entering an address. HPD violations are classified as Class A (non-hazardous, 90-day cure), Class B (hazardous, 30-day cure), and Class C (immediately hazardous, 24-hour cure). For a combined view of HPD violations alongside DOB and ECB data, RegWatch indexes 946K+ HPD records:
HPD enforces the NYC Housing Maintenance Code for residential buildings. RegWatch indexes 946,000+ HPD violations across all five boroughs. Violations fall into three classes:

For anyone acquiring a NYC residential property, HPD violation history tells a story about building management quality. A building with 50+ open HPD violations is a red flag — it suggests a negligent owner, angry tenants, and potential legal exposure.

Class C violations are immediately hazardous conditions: lead paint (with child under 6), no heat or hot water, no running water, structural danger, or fire safety issues. Landlords have 24 hours to begin correction. Failure to address Class C violations can result in emergency repairs billed to the owner and HPD liens.
Yes. Extensive open HPD violations signal deferred maintenance and can reduce property value, complicate financing (lenders evaluate building condition), and create legal liability. Some violations (particularly lead paint) require disclosure and remediation.
