Based on NYC enforcement data, the leading violation categories in Mott Haven are: No heat/hot water (HPD Class C), Mold and water infiltration, Rodent and pest infestation. These reflect the neighborhood's typical property stock — primarily Walk-ups and Large apartment buildings — and the aging systems in those buildings.
Yes — most Mott Haven buildings fall under HPD jurisdiction. HPD enforces habitability standards: heat and hot water minimums, lead paint (Local Law 1), pest control, mold, and structural safety. HPD Class C (immediately hazardous) violations carry the highest penalties, up to $500 per day per apartment.
Five agencies actively cite Mott Haven properties: DOB (construction, permits, elevators, facades), HPD (habitability, heat, lead paint), FDNY (fire safety, sprinklers, exits), ECB/OATH (all citywide summonses adjudicated at OATH hearings), and DSNY (sanitation, receptacle rules). Pijexa monitors all five sources daily and alerts owners to new violations before fines escalate.
Fines depend on the issuing agency and violation class. DOB Class 1 (immediately hazardous) violations start at $2,500 and can reach $25,000+. DOB Class 2 (major) violations are $250-$5,000. HPD violations by class: Class A (non-hazardous) $10-$50/day, Class B (hazardous) $25-$100/day, Class C (immediately hazardous) $50-$500/day. ECB summonses in Mott Haven typically range from $50 to $2,000 per citation depending on category. Ongoing accrual on mold and water infiltration makes early cure critical.
