Your Property Maintenance Checklist for May

These 4 tasks are due this month for every Bronx landlord. We're sharing them free — no signup needed. Miss any of them and you risk HPD violations, fines, or emergency repair costs.

HPD
Ensure all AC units in windows have approved brackets. HPD issues Class B violations corrected within 30 days — up to $500 per unit.
HPD Annual Inspection Prep
