Our Restoration Process

A documented, systematic approach every time

1

Inspect & Review the Record

We assess physical damage, pull the HPD violation record, and identify all open items — including any DOB flags triggered by the fire.

2

Stabilize Immediate Hazards

We address Class C items first: missing detectors, blocked egress, open structural hazards. Self-closing doors are corrected within the 14-day window.

3

Complete Remediation

Smoke, soot, and odor are fully remediated. Structural drying and repairs are completed. All work is photo-documented throughout.

4

Move the File Toward Closeout

We prepare and submit the certification package HPD requires — contractor certifications, inspection reports, and supporting documentation.

Common Questions

HPD Fire Violation FAQ

HPD issues fire-related violations for missing or defective self-closing doors, lack of required smoke or CO detectors, blocked or inadequate egress, damaged fire escapes or sprinkler systems, and failure to post required fire safety notices. These can be Class B (non-hazardous) or Class C (immediately hazardous) depending on severity.
Self-closing door violations must be corrected within 14 days. Other Class C (immediately hazardous) violations must be corrected within 24 hours. Class B violations generally allow 30 days. Fines accumulate daily until correction is certified.
Yes. We respond 24/7 to fire-damaged properties with active Orders to Vacate. We stabilize the structure, complete remediation, and help coordinate with HPD and DOB to clear the order. We also prepare the documentation needed for HPD and DOB closeout.
Yes. HPD requires physical correction of the condition AND proper certification. For self-closing doors, you need a licensed contractor's certification. For smoke/CO detectors, the owner must certify installation. For more complex fire damage, additional documentation from licensed professionals may be required.
Fire damage remediation is often covered under commercial property or landlord insurance policies. We provide itemized documentation, photos, and reports that support insurance claims. Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the fire.
HPD violations relate to housing maintenance standards — self-closing doors, smoke/CO detectors, egress, and habitability. DOB violations relate to building code and structural compliance. A fire can trigger both. We handle HPD violation closeout and can coordinate with your architect or expediter for DOB matters.
Tenant re-occupancy depends on the nature and extent of the fire damage. Units with active smoke damage, structural compromise, or missing safety equipment cannot be re-occupied until cleared. We work efficiently to restore habitability as quickly as code and safety allow.
