NYC HPD Signs and Required Building Signs

Buildings with 3 or more apartments must post the HPD registration number sign, the superintendent or janitor sign, the boiler room key notice, the smoke and carbon monoxide detector notice, the gas leak notice, floor number signs, the FDNY fire safety notice and an inspection frame. Some buildings need more, like the rent stabilized notice.

HPD gives your building a registration number when you register each year. You can look it up on HPD Online, then type it on the registration number sign when you order.

HPD and DOB inspectors write violations when required signs are missing, illegible, or not framed. Fines range from $250 to over $1,000 per violation.
