N.Y.C. Admin. Code tit. 27, ch. 2 § 27-2154
Housing authority code violations (New York City Housing Maintenance Code)
Operative Text
The department of housing preservation and development and the department of buildings shall each maintain data on their respective websites recording open code violations in public housing developments owned by the New York city housing authority in the same manner as such departments maintain data recording open code violations of private entities. (2022 N.Y. Laws Ch. 383, 7/19/2022, eff. 1/1/2023)
Under N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 27-2001 and 27-2154, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Buildings (DOB) are each required to publish open code violations for New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments on their public websites. Crucially, this data must be presented in the same format and manner used for violations recorded against private property owners. The rule, effective January 1, 2023, is intended to bring transparency to public housing code compliance on par with what already exists for the private rental market.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Although N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 27-2001 and 27-2154 primarily govern NYCHA as a public housing authority rather than private landlords, private property owners and managers can use the publicly available violation data on the HPD and DOB websites as a benchmark for understanding how code violations are tracked and disclosed citywide. Compliant private operators generally ensure their own open violations are resolved promptly, knowing that the same public-facing databases now apply equally to public and private housing. Familiarity with how this data is displayed can help property managers anticipate how their own compliance records appear to prospective tenants and regulators.

Under N.Y.C. Admin. Code §§ 27-2001 and 27-2154, tenants living in NYCHA developments now have the same access to open code violation records as tenants in privately owned buildings, through the HPD and DOB public websites. NYCHA residents can look up their development's open violations directly on those agency sites to understand what conditions have been formally cited. Tenants who find unresolved violations relevant to their housing conditions may consider reaching out to a tenant-rights organization or consulting the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development for information on available enforcement and complaint pathways.
