We make all types of HPD Signs with custom messages
HPD Signs NYC are one of the most important requirements by the New York City (NYC) Housing Preservation and Development Program (HPD) in order for buildings to stay in compliance according to NYC building code. Specific types of signs must be displayed as required by the NYC HPD. At Signs NYC, we have helped many of the 200,000 homes and complexes that are registered to this program get the long lasting signs they need to remain in the program. With affordable prices and fast service, Signs NYC is the company of choice for HPD signs.
What Are HPD Signs?
HPD signs are an important element of building maintenance for property managers in New York City. The NYC housing preservation and development program (HPD) has particular building signage requirements that property owners must follow to avoid fines and penalties. Various buildings require different NYC building department (DOB) signs. Therefore it is important to collaborate with HPD to find out which signs are required for your building, as well as the criteria for each sign.
Types Of HPD Signs
Smoke Detector Signs
Any Class A dwelling needs a smoke detector sign near the mailboxes, or a combination smoke detector carbon monoxide sign.
Janitor Name Signs
Every HPD property needs to have contact information for either a janitor or the superintendent. If there isn’t one, one should hired to be on call.
Carbon Monoxide Signs
After approval by HPD, property owners must have a sign that indicates the presence of a carbon monoxide detector. Can be combined with smoke detector.
Gas Leak Notice Signs
Gas leaks are dangerous. HPD properties are required to have an “in case of gas leak” sign that can also be combined with smoke and carbon monoxide detector signage.
HPD Building Serial Number Signs
Every registered HPD property has to have a registration number sign on a prominent display. The number will stay the same with renewal.
HPD Boiler Room Signs
In case of emergency, workers need to know who has the key to the boiler room and where it is located. Both of these signs need to be easy to find.
Garbage Collection Signs
Hours and dates of garbage collection need to be on display for any property without a dumbwaiter. This sign also needs to be tamper-proof.
Maximum Occupancy Signs
For fire safety reasons, many HPD buildings have “maximum occupancy” HPD signs that indicate the most people that can safely be on a property.
Required Fire Safety Plan Signs
An egress sign, or some other type of fire evacuation plan sign, should also be created and on display. It is ideal if the sign is fireproof.
Tenant Screening Notice Signs
If applicable, you may need a sign that discusses tenant screenings and how they are used, along with contact information as needed.
Disaster Response Signage
There should be a sign on the property that gives all tenants the numbers and information needed in the event of nearly any type of emergency.
Interruption of Services Notice
When a planned interruption is going to take place, you are legally required to post a sign in a visible area. It may be useful to have a long lasting one.
Required Heating System Signs
When applicable, HPD properties need to have signs that identify who to call for HVAC-related needs, elevators, and more.
Floor Number Signs
Every floor is expected to have a visible, clearly marked floor number, so that anyone visiting the property or living on it knows where they are at all times.
Fire Safety Notice
There is a type of sign found on HPD properties that walk people through what to do in the event of a fire. This should be displayed in an easy-to-locate space.
Safe Construction Bill of Rights
Some property owners are required to print and post copies of the Safe Construction Bill of Rights for properties that qualify.
Boiler Room Keys Signs
In addition to the sign for the boiler room, there should also be a sign that indicates who has the keys and what number to call. This is required on most HPD buildings.
NYC DOB Subdivision Signs
Finally, properties may be required to put an NYC Dept of Buildings subdivision sign, with information that is clearly available for anyone to access.
Housing Information Guide Signs
Every tenant has rights. HPD may require a sign that sends tells people where to get a guide with information on those tenant rights.
In a Fire, Close All Doors Sign
This emergency exit sign according to NYC admin code 15-135 is used to give warning and importance of closing all doors and evacuate a building or apartment to tenants and visitors to prevent from fire.

These signs inform tenants, owners, customers of no smoking regulations and instructions in commercial and residential properties with no smoking signs comply with NYC Smoke-Free Air Act sign (SFAA sign).
