While non-compliance can result in fines, properly implemented signage enhances safety and provides peace of mind for everyone in the building.
Gas Leak Notice
Owners of dwellings are mandated to furnish tenants with a notice on procedures for suspected gas leaks. This notice must be provided to each tenant and prospective tenant during lease issuance or renewal, encompassing all tenant-occupied units within 1- and 2-family homes, and be displayed in a common area of the building.
Carbon Monoxide Sign
In accordance with HMC § 27-2046.1, property owners are obligated to exhibit an HPD-approved Carbon Monoxide Detecting Device Requirement Notice within a common area of the building. The specific stipulations regarding this mandate are delineated in Section 12-12.1 of Chapter 12 of the Rules of the City of New York.
Smoke Detector Notice Sign
Owners of Class A multiple dwellings are mandated to post a Smoke Detecting Devices Notice, approved by HPD, at or near the mailboxes as per 28 RCNY § 12-01. Alternatively, owners may opt to post a combined notice for Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detecting Devices alongside Gas Leak Procedures.
Fire Safety Notice

Combined Gas, Smoke, and Carbon Monoxide Notice
Property owners have the option to simplify compliance by posting a combined notice for Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors and Gas Leak Procedures, instead of individual postings. This integrated notice, in a format approved by the relevant housing authority, consolidates essential safety information on smoke detection, carbon monoxide detection, and gas leak procedures, ensuring that residents are well-informed about these critical aspects of building safety.

The HPD inspector will supply the inspection card, with owners required to complete any incomplete sections.
Boiler Room / Heating System Sign
An owner is required to display the name and location of the individual possessing the boiler room key on notices approved by HPD, designated as HPD heating system signs. One notice should be prominently placed in the lobby, and another on the boiler room’s entrance door, as mandated by HMC § 27-2033.
Floor Number Sign
DOB and HPD require owners to install floor and apartment number signs to assist first responders and guests in identifying their location within the building, especially in larger structures.

Bedbug Annual Filling Recepit
Property owners are mandated to post the Bedbug Annual Filing Receipt in a prominent location or distribute it to tenants upon commencement of a new lease or with each lease renewal, notifying tenants of the bedbug infestation history of the building, as stipulated by HMC § 27-2005 (Local Law 47 of 2015).
Safe Construction Bill of Rights
Property owners of multiple dwellings are required to distribute and post a Safe Construction Bill of Rights notice: upon application for a work permit not relating to minor alterations or ordinary repairs; concurrently with the owner’s notification to the department regarding an emergency work permit; or, for new buildings, immediately upon application for a temporary certificate of occupancy.
Why HPD Signs are Important.
Legal Compliance
The requirement for HPD Signs stems from the city's legal frameworks including the Housing Maintenance Code, Multiple Dwelling Law, and the Rules of the City of New York. These laws mandate the posting of specific signs in and around buildings to ensure that building owners adhere to the city's housing and building regulations.
Safety Measures
HPD Signs such as fire safety notices, gas leak notices, and the Safe Construction Bill of Rights are essential for promoting safety within buildings. They provide crucial information that can help prevent accidents and guide individuals on what to do in emergency situations.
Tenant Rights and Protections
HPD signs are designed to inform tenants of their rights and the responsibilities of the property owners, fostering a transparent and lawful living environment.
Avoidance of Penalties
Failure to comply with the HPD signage requirements can result in fines and other penalties for building owners. Thus, having the required HPD Signs in place is crucial for avoiding legal and financial repercussions.
Healthcare Facilities
Compliance with HPD Signage requirements also reflects well on the building's management, portraying a commitment to safety, legal compliance, and tenant satisfaction.
Information Dissemination
These signs act as a communication tool between building owners/managers and tenants. They provide information on various aspects like housing code violations, notice of repair or maintenance work, and other building safety and security measures.
