HPD registration · September 1 each year
What this is

Local Law 126 · By December 31 each year
What this is

If the building has a parapet facing a street, sidewalk or other public way, a competent person (such as a mason, engineer or architect) must observe it every year and the owner keeps the report for DOB on request. Detached one- and two-family homes are exempt. Agency page
