    The council member asks if the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) physically goes to inspect rehabilitation work done under the J51 program to verify it was completed properly.

    • The deputy commissioner confirms that HPD does physically inspect completed J51 work to ensure compliance.
    • For other HPD programs, benefits are provided first and then HPD inspects that the promised work was done.
    • For J51, the work must be completed before the tax abatement benefit is granted.
    • Under a new program component, owners must apply within 4 months of finishing work so HPD can promptly inspect it.
