Housing Maintenance Code

The chapter of the NYC Administrative Code that sets minimum conditions for dwellings; HPD violations are written under its sections.

The Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) is where the law of livable apartments lives: heat, hot water, repairs, pests, lead paint, window guards, registration. Every HPD violation cites a section of it, and this site keys its violation-code pages on those sections, so the statute, the enforcement record and the buildings involved sit on one page.
