HPD Signs

For property managers in NYC, HPD signs are an essential part of building maintenance. The NYC Housing Preservation and Development Program (HPD) has specific standards for building signage that building owners must meet to avoid fines and penalties. At Brooklyn Signs, we can provide the necessary HPD signs quickly and conveniently to keep your building up to code.

Required HPD Signs for Buildings and Apartments

In order to meet NYC building code, the New York City Housing Preservation and Development Program (HPD) requires registered dwellings in the city to display specific signs to meet the program’s requirements. Property owners with a property containing 3 or more residential units or those not residing in the managed property must display the required signs. These signs help tenants and emergency responders in the case of a disaster, as well as satisfy tenant rights requirements.

Brooklyn Signs has worked with many homes and commercial buildings registered as HPD properties and we can produce any of the required DOB signs. With our experience, we can make the process of ordering and installing signage at your property easy and convenient. Give us a call today at (718) 252-7575 to let us know what signs you need.

Different Types of HPD Signs

What Are HPD Signs

Different dwellings can require different NYC Building Department (DOB) signs, so it is important to work with HPD to determine which signs are needed for your building, as well as the requirements for each sign. Brooklyn Signs can also assist in determining your specific needs. The common HPD signs we offer include:
  • Smoke Detector Sign

This sign confirms the presence of a smoke detector in the building and should be placed near the mailboxes.

  • Carbon Monoxide Sign

Property owners place this sign to indicate that there is a carbon monoxide detector on the premises. This sign can be combined with the smoke detector sign

  • Gas Leak Notice Sign

A sign should inform tenants what to do in case of a gas leak in the building. A gas leak sign can be combined with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors signage.

  • Fire Safety Notice

In case of fire, this sign indicates a safe exit plan. It should be in an easy to find location.

  • Disaster Response Sign

For emergencies, a sign should indicate phone numbers and necessary information for tenants to contact.

  • Maximum Occupancy Sign

HPD buildings use a sign to indicate the maximum number of people who can be in the building at any time per fire code.

  • Floor Number Sign

A sign should visibly indicate the floor number on every floor for easy navigation.

  • HPD Building Serial Number Sign

Your HPD registration number must be on display at all times.

  • Boiler Room Keys Sign

In case of emergency, this sign lets people know who holds the keys to the boiler room and their contact information.

  • Janitor Name Sign

HDP properties are required to have janitor or superintendent contact information readily available.

  • Housing Information Guide Sign

Some properties must display a sign letting tenants know how to review their rights.

  • Tenant Screening Notice Sign

To protect tenant rights, a notice outlines any screening processes and relevant contact information.

  • Interruption of Services Notice

If there will be a planned interruption in services, property managers are required to place a sign in advance.

  • Safe Constructions Bill of Rights

Building managers must post the Safe Construction Bill of Rights in qualifying properties.

  • NYC DOB Subdivision Sign

Properties may be required to display a NYC Department of Buildings subdivision sign to tenants.

In general, each of these signs must meet specific technical requirements, so customization is limited. We offer templates to ensure your signs are in compliance with HPD. We do offer the following options to create the right sign for your building:

HPD signs are commonly made from acrylic, aluminum composite, styrene, or PVC. Certain signs like Fire Safety Notices should be crafted from fireproof material.

  • Sizing

Depending on the sign, dimensions are usually 3” x 12”, 3” x 6”, 8.5” x 11”, and 10” x 11”. In some cases, custom sizing is available.

  • Colors

Signs are available in black, white, silver, and red.

  • Finishes

To match the appearance of your building, signs can be finished either matte or glossy.

These are standard characteristics for HPD signs. However, if your building must meet certain requirements, we can work with you to create the appropriate signage for compliancy with HPD. We’re also familiar with HPD law violations and required building signage in NYC to help us find you the signs you need.
