The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development describes HPD Online as the public place to review complaints and violations, property registration, charges, litigation, vacate orders, and identifying property details. The service is most useful when you match the exact building before interpreting any result.
Do not stop at the number of violations. Read where the condition was recorded, when it was issued, its hazard class, and whether HPD shows it as open or closed. A building-wide condition is different from a record tied to one apartment, hallway, boiler room, or exterior area. A closed status is useful history, but it does not promise the condition can never recur. An open status deserves follow-up, yet it also does not by itself describe what an inspector would find today.
