Supervisor, CPM L-3 for the Division of Emergency Operations and Enhanced Enforcement Division (EOD) Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP)

About the Agency

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) oversees housing standards across all 3.7 million homes in New York City.

As the nation’s largest municipal housing agency, HPD is responsible for building and preserving affordable housing, protecting tenants from harassment and displacement, and holding landlords accountable across the five boroughs. Under Commissioner Dina Levy and the Mamdani Administration, HPD is pursuing an ambitious housing agenda focused on the needs of New York’s tenants. With a broad set of tools including standards enforcement, tenant resources, and the creation of new affordable housing, HPD is committed to making New York City a more affordable place for renters and homeowners alike

Your Team

The Office of Enforcement and Neighborhood Services (OENS) leads the agency’s effort to works closely with other HPD divisions and outside community partners to identify buildings in distress assess and develop appropriate strategies to address those properties and work closely with responsible owners to develop a plan to improve conditions and return buildings to firm financial footing and physical health. OENS uses enforcement tools within its Division of Code Enforcement, Housing Litigation Division, Emergency Repair Program, the Division of Neighborhood Preservation and the Division of Special Enforcement to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.

The Office of Enforcement and Neighborhood Services is composed of seven divisions: Data Management & Technology (DMT), Division of Neighborhood Preservation (DNP), Administration & Internal Compliance (AIC), Housing Litigation Division (HLD), Division of Code Enforcement (DCE), and Emergency Operations and Enhanced Enforcement Division (EOD) and Division of Emergency Housing Services (EHS).

Your Impact

The Emergency Operations and Enhanced Enforcement Division (EOD) Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP) is an enforcement program which identifies the 250 most distressed multiple dwellings citywide each year. AEP allows the city to make repairs to these buildings and bill the landlord for the repairs. This keeps residents in the direst of conditions from waiting for landlords to act.

The AEP staff perform roof to cellar inspections, determine the underlying cause of the violations and order the owner to perform system replacement work. When an owner fails to perform the ordered system replacement work, AEP may perform the work and bill the landlord for the cost.
