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.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) reports on projects, buildings, and units that began after January 1, 2014, and are counted towards either the Housing New York plan (1/1/2014 – 12/31/2021) or the Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing & Homelessness plan (1/1/2022 – present).

Pursuant to New York City’s Housing Maintenance Code, the Department of Housing
Preservation and Development (HPD) collects registration information from owners of
residential rental units. Owners are required to register if they own residential buildings
with three or more units or if they own one- or two-family homes and neither they nor
members of their immediate family live there. Registrations are required upon taking
ownership of a qualifying building, and once a year thereafter.

Property owners are required to obtain bedbug infestation history from tenants or a dwelling unit owner. This dataset captures the bedbug infestation history as reported by the property owner.

Local Law 69 of 2017 requires that all multiple dwelling property owners must attempt to obtain the bed bug infestation history from the tenant or unit owner, including whether eradication measures were employed for a bedbug infestation. The information reported in this file is self-reported information filed annually by property owners. Once the Bed Bug Annual Report has been filed, the property owner is required to either provide the filing receipt to each tenant (upon commencement of a new lease and with each lease renewal) OR post the filing receipt in a prominent location in the building. In addition, the property owner must either distribute to each tenant or post the DOHMH Preventing and Getting Rid of Bedbugs Safely guide, which provides information on the prevention, detection, and removal of bedbugs. Each record in the file represents a filing completed. If a property has submitted two records for the same period, the second filing is the active final submission for the period.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) reports on projects, buildings, and units that began after January 1, 2014, and are counted towards either the Housing New York plan (1/1/2014 – 12/31/2021) or the Housing Our Neighbors: A Blueprint for Housing & Homelessness plan (1/1/2022 – present).

The Inclusionary Housing Program is designed to preserve and promote affordable housing within neighborhoods where zoning has been modified to encourage new development. The Voluntary Inclusionary Housing program, enacted in 1987, enables a development to receive a density bonus in return for the new construction, substantial rehabilitation, or preservation of permanently affordable housing. The Inclusionary Housing Properties table includes both generating sites and compensated developments. Please note that some properties are both generating sites and compensated developments.
The Voluntary Inclusionary Housing (VIH) open data is published in four tables. Please see the documentation for more information on how these four tables relate.
