What We Handle

Mold Violation Correction Services

Moisture Source Diagnosis

Thermal imaging, moisture meters, and inspection to find and confirm the leak or condensation source driving mold growth.

Containment & Air Filtration

Negative air pressure containment and HEPA filtration to prevent spore spread during remediation.

Licensed Mold Remediation

NYS-licensed mold remediation — physical removal, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal.

Source Repair Coordination

Leaky pipes, failing windows, roof penetrations — we coordinate or perform moisture source repairs before closing.

DEP Filing Support

For 10+ unit buildings requiring licensed assessor and remediator, we coordinate DEP documentation per Local Law 55.

Certification Package

Post-remediation verification report, air samples (where required), and signed certification for HPD closeout.

Our Restoration Process

A documented, systematic approach every time

1

Assess & Map the Violation

We pull the HPD violation record, inspect the affected area, and measure affected square footage to confirm violation class and deadline.

2

Find & Eliminate the Source

Mold returns without fixing what caused it. Thermal imaging and moisture testing identify the source before remediation begins.

3

Remediate Per Protocol

Licensed remediation with containment, HEPA filtration, physical removal, antimicrobial treatment, and proper disposal — all documented.

4

Certify & Close

We prepare the post-remediation verification report and certification package HPD requires to close the violation on record.

Who We Help

Built for NYC Property Owners & Managers

An open HPD mold violation means daily fines and potential emergency repair orders. We fix it correctly the first time — with documentation to close the record.
Managing tenant complaints and HPD timelines across multiple buildings is complex. We respond fast, document everything, and get you the certification you need.
Mold in common areas or behind-wall leaks affecting multiple units triggers Local Law 55 requirements. We handle licensed assessment coordination and remediation.
311 complaints trigger inspections. If HPD has already visited, the clock is running. We respond same-day and get the remediation done before an inspector returns.
We provide the licensed remediation documentation your clients need for HPD closeout — including post-remediation verification and air quality testing where required.

Client Results

NYC Property Owners Who Closed Their Mold Violations

"We had a Class C mold violation in two units — bathroom walls and under the sink. Aqua-Pro found a slow pipe leak behind the wall, fixed the source, and remediated everything. HPD violation closed in 18 days."

Maria C.

Brooklyn 24-Unit Owner

"Tenant filed a 311 complaint, HPD inspector came the next day and issued a Class B. Aqua-Pro was on site within hours. Their documentation package was exactly what HPD needed. No drama, no second inspection."

Robert T.

Bronx Property Owner

"Managing a 40-unit building means mold complaints happen. What matters is speed and paperwork. Aqua-Pro delivers both — I've used them three times now and the violations always close clean."

Common Questions

HPD Mold Violation FAQ

Building owners are responsible for correcting HPD mold violations in rental units. This includes identifying and repairing the moisture source, performing remediation, and submitting the required certification. Tenants can file a complaint with HPD or 311 if the owner does not act.
Mold violations are classified by the area affected per room. Less than 10 sq.ft. = Class A (90 days to correct). 10–30 sq.ft. = Class B (30 days). More than 30 sq.ft. = Class C (21 days, immediately hazardous). These timelines begin from the date the violation is issued.
For buildings with 10 or more units, NYS law requires a licensed mold assessor to conduct an assessment and a separate licensed mold remediator to perform the work. Aqua-Pro holds the required NYS mold remediation license. We also coordinate with licensed assessors when required.
Submitting a false certification to HPD carries civil penalties of $2,000–$10,000 per violation. The violation remains open, and the city may place the building on its watch list. All Aqua-Pro certifications are backed by licensed professionals and documented evidence.
Yes. Tenant 311 complaints often trigger HPD inspections. If an inspector finds mold, they issue a violation on the spot. The owner is then responsible for correction within the violation class deadline. We can respond same-day when violations are issued following a complaint.
Overdue violations accumulate daily fines and can trigger HPD emergency repair orders, where the city makes repairs and charges the property owner at an inflated rate. We prioritize overdue violations and can often complete remediation and begin the closeout process within days.
