Receiving an HPD pest violation can be stressful for landlords and property managers. These violations impact operations, tenant relations, and compliance. Fortunately, clearing them quickly is possible with the right steps and the right licensed exterminator.
This guide explains how Safety First Pest Control helps landlords resolve HPD pest violations fast throughout NYC, Nassau County, Westchester, and North Jersey.
What Is an HPD Pest Violation?
The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issues pest violations when inspectors find evidence of:
- Mice
- Rats
- Roaches
- Bed bugs
- Conditions that attract pests (trash, leaks, structural gaps)
Violations require prompt correction, including inspection, treatment, and documentation.
Step 1: Schedule a Licensed Pest Control Inspection Immediately
HPD violations come with strict deadlines. The first step is to call Safety First Pest Control at (917) 994-2800 to schedule an inspection right away.
During the inspection, we:
- Identify pests present
- Determine source areas
- Inspect affected units
- Check basements, trash rooms, and common areas
A fast inspection is critical to clearing violations on time.
Step 2: Treat the Infested Areas Thoroughly
Once we identify the pest problem, our licensed technicians perform an EPA-approved treatment. The treatment plan may include:
- Gel baits
- Crack and crevice treatments
- Rodent bait stations
- Void treatments
- Sealant recommendations
For bed bugs, we may recommend canine detection to locate all infested areas.
Step 3: Perform Follow-Up Visits if Required
Some pest types—particularly roaches, rodents, and bed bugs—require follow-up treatments. We document each visit and ensure full elimination before issuing the final letter.
Step 4: Receive Your Official Extermination Letter
After treatment, we provide the official pest control letter, which includes:
- Technician license number
- Date(s) of treatment
- Pest species addressed
- Summary of methods used
- Confirmation that conditions have been corrected
This document is typically accepted by HPD as proof of compliance.
Step 5: Submit Documentation to HPD
You (or your property manager) submit the extermination letter through HPD’s online portal or as required. Many landlords can clear violations within 48–72 hours when working with us.
