Explaining the Code – HMC § 27-2005

Under Housing Maintenance Code § 27-2005, building owners in New York City must provide tenants with clear and visible disaster response information. The law requires posting of emergency contacts, building procedures, and tenant responsibilities in the event of disasters such as fires, floods, blackouts, or other emergencies.

This signage ensures tenants know exactly whom to call and what steps to take in urgent situations, helping prevent confusion and improving safety outcomes. Without this posting, tenants may lack the guidance needed during emergencies, creating serious risks for both residents and building owners.

The regulation also strengthens accountability by requiring landlords to maintain updated contact information for building staff, management, and emergency services. Inspectors from HPD will check for this signage during routine compliance visits, and failure to display it can result in fines and violations.

By installing the HPD Disaster Response Sign, building owners demonstrate compliance with city law, protect tenants, and ensure that residents are better prepared for unexpected emergencies. This sign is not just a legal requirement—it is an essential tool for tenant safety and emergency readiness.
