The short version
Class C exceptions: heat and hot water must be fixed immediately; lead paint, window guards, mold and pests get 21 days. An HPD violation is separate from a DOB violation even when both come from the same apartment. Clearing it takes a certification of correction filed with HPD, not DOB. Lead paint, mold and pest violations can't be certified online. How HPD's letters line up against DOB's Class 1 to 3 is on NYC violation classes.
The search above checks HPD only. The home page search runs DOB, ECB and HPD on the same address.
We cover HPD in depth on a separate site: hpdviolationsnyc.com has the class rules with real examples, a tenant guide, an owner guide, the rent-impairing list and a walkthrough of eCertification.
