Department of Housing Preservation and Development
Established in 1978, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development is the largest municipal housing preservation and development agency in the nation, charged with promoting the quality, safety, and affordability of the city's housing stock. HPD enforces the Housing Maintenance Code, finances and preserves affordable housing, and helps New Yorkers find homes they can afford, while working with communities to sustain neighborhood strength and diversity.
What's working
- What is the total affordable housing starts?: 28,281 starts — increasing as the pipeline recovered, helped by the 421-a tax program
- How many homeless households moved into a newly constructed unit cases are there?: 3,743 unit — increasing, driven by more landlords opting in via Augmented CityFHEPS
- What percent of new construction in limited affordability areas?: 16% — increasing, a deliberate result of HPD prioritizing these areas
- and 11 more below
What's getting worse
- How many violations dismissed as a result of Comprehensive Litigation closed due to compliance with the Order to Correct are there?: 21,934 violations — decreasing, but HPD attributes this to a processing delay, not weaker enforcement
- What is the section 8 — Housing choice voucher utilization rate?: 86% — misses target by 12%
- How long does it take to approve an applicant?: 142 days

Why this is tracked
HPD was established in 1978, in the wake of Local Law 45 of 1976, by consolidating various housing-related city agencies to address New York's affordable-housing crisis of that era. One of its central ongoing functions is enforcing the city's Housing Maintenance Code, covering conditions like heat, hot water, mold, pests, gas leaks, and fire safety. HPD reports performing over 500,000 inspections annually and uses tools ranging from owner outreach to Housing Court cases to emergency repairs when landlords fail to fix hazardous conditions.

Affordable housing starts fell to a recent low in fiscal 2022 amid rising construction costs and HPD staffing shortages, then climbed each year after as the agency's pipeline recovered — helped by a surge in new construction financed through the 421-a tax-exemption program, which pushed fiscal 2025 starts to their second-highest new-construction total on record.

Why this is tracked
HPD is described as the largest municipal developer of affordable housing in the United States. In May 2014, the city launched Housing New York: A Five-Borough, Ten-Year Plan, aiming to build and preserve 200,000 affordable homes over a decade; the administration reported hitting that goal two years ahead of schedule and went on to finance the preservation or construction of 200,000 affordable homes overall, the most by any single mayoral administration in city history, before expanding the goal to 300,000 homes under Housing New York 2.0.

Why this is tracked
HPD runs the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program, which made up about 80 percent of the rental assistance HPD administered as of late 2024, serving over 36,000 households at an average monthly cost per unit of roughly $1,408. It also administers CityFHEPS, a city-funded voucher for families with children on cash assistance who are at risk of eviction or have lost housing due to domestic violence or health and safety issues; unlike the federally funded Section 8 program, CityFHEPS has no waitlist, so eligible applicants receive it without waiting years. Together these programs are a major part of how the city tries to keep low-income households housed rather than in shelter.

Violations dismissed through Comprehensive Litigation dropped 39% in fiscal 2025, but HPD attributes this to a processing delay rather than weaker enforcement: cases were stuck waiting on City Comptroller approval of settlements needed to formally close them out, so HPD expects some of that fiscal 2025 activity to show up in fiscal 2026 figures instead once those cases are finalized.

Why this is tracked
HPD requires developers, general contractors, and subcontractors on projects receiving more than $2 million in city subsidy to share entry- and mid-level construction job openings with HireNYC and interview qualified candidates the program refers. Its M/WBE Build Up Program aims to increase contracting opportunities for certified Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises on HPD- and HDC-subsidized affordable housing projects, while a Labor Monitoring Unit checks payroll records and conducts site visits to ensure labor law compliance on these projects. The goal is to make sure city-subsidized housing construction also generates jobs and contracting opportunities for New Yorkers, including those historically excluded from the industry.

Homeless households moved into newly built units have more than doubled since fiscal 2022. HPD attributes this mainly to a rising number of 'volunteer' units — market-and-affordable apartments not originally set aside for homeless placements that landlords opt into — encouraged by the Augmented CityFHEPS rental voucher, which subsidizes rent for certain middle-income units filled through HPD's homeless placement process.

The share of new construction sited in neighborhoods with the least affordable rental housing rose to 16% in fiscal 2025, a five-percentage-point jump HPD describes as a deliberate result of the agency prioritizing financing for new construction in these underserved areas as part of its fair-housing strategy. Because this is a small percentage measured off a limited number of projects each year, year-to-year figures can move substantially even without a change in overall policy.

The time to issue a Section 8 voucher after a completed application swung from 26 days to 77 days over three years mainly because of a shift in voucher type, according to HPD: Project-Based Vouchers, where households are matched directly to an available unit, are much faster to process than Tenant-Based Vouchers, where holders must find and secure a rental on the private market themselves. Fiscal 2025 saw a larger share of Tenant-Based Vouchers issued, slowing the process, while fiscal 2024's faster time reflected more Project-Based Vouchers that year.

Why this is tracked
HPD is described as the largest municipal developer of affordable housing in the United States. In May 2014, the city launched Housing New York: A Five-Borough, Ten-Year Plan, aiming to build and preserve 200,000 affordable homes over a decade; the administration reported hitting that goal two years ahead of schedule and went on to finance the preservation or construction of 200,000 affordable homes overall, the most by any single mayoral administration in city history, before expanding the goal to 300,000 homes under Housing New York 2.0.

Why this is tracked
HPD was established in 1978, in the wake of Local Law 45 of 1976, by consolidating various housing-related city agencies to address New York's affordable-housing crisis of that era. One of its central ongoing functions is enforcing the city's Housing Maintenance Code, covering conditions like heat, hot water, mold, pests, gas leaks, and fire safety. HPD reports performing over 500,000 inspections annually and uses tools ranging from owner outreach to Housing Court cases to emergency repairs when landlords fail to fix hazardous conditions.
