Yes. Search any NYC address on RegWatch to see current HPD violations on the property, including their class, issue date, status, and any associated fines. This covers both DOB and HPD violation systems and is sourced directly from the authoritative agency records.
Correction windows vary by severity. Major/hazardous violations typically require correction within 30 days. Check your specific Notice of Violation for the exact deadline.
Unpaid penalties associated with HPD Class B violations become judgment liens on the property when they go unpaid for 90+ days (ECB liens) or through DOF collection. These liens appear on title searches and can block refinance or sale closings until satisfied.
A Notice of Violation (NOV) is the initial citation issued by the agency inspector. The HPD Class B classification refers to the severity tier assigned to the NOV. Once issued, the NOV creates both a DOB/HPD violation record and an ECB/OATH summons that carries the imposed penalty.
For DOB violations, file via DOB NOW. For HPD violations, file via HPD Online with photo evidence of the correction. For ECB/OATH summonses, you must attend a hearing or pay the penalty — correction alone does not dismiss an ECB fine.
