Why this rule matters
Paper HPD signs are a recurring tax on every NYC property manager.
Every NYC apartment building, co-op, and condo carries more than a dozen HPD signs and NYC lobby posting requirements under the Multiple Dwelling Law and HPD rules — building registration, bedbug annual filing, DSNY garbage collection, smoke detector notice, carbon monoxide and natural gas detector requirements, window guard notice, stove knob cover notice, managing agent posting, boiler inspection, fire safety, heating system contact, service alerts, and more. Each posting needs to be current, legible, in the right location, and available in the languages your tenants speak. As of February 2, 2026, six of those HPD postings can move onto a single commercial digital signage display — and ending the printing, the dispatch, and most of your HPD violation exposure happens in one install.
We deliver HPD compliance signage from our Tribeca HQ at 433 Broadway, with in-borough crews across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We replace NYC building lobby signs with a single compliance display, and we ship turnkey digital signage for apartment buildings — co-op, condo, rental, and NYCHA-adjacent — under the same single-contract model that runs L'Occitane, Victoria's Secret, and Pressed Juicery on the commercial side. Quote inside four business hours, itemized: hardware, install, software, content, managed. See the full NYC flagship · per-screen pricing · about CrownTV.
The real cost of paper
What managing paper HPD signs actually costs you.
Up to $5,000 in HPD violations per posting
Local Law 71 raised civil penalties. A single missing or out-of-date HPD sign can be cited as its own violation — multiply that across a 20-building portfolio and a single inspection cycle becomes five-figure exposure.
Site visits every time anything changes
Garbage day shifts. Super's number changes. HPD revises a notice format. Someone has to print, drive to every building, and replace the paper. For a 50-building portfolio, that's a recurring full-day operation.
Reprinting whenever HPD updates a rule
Detector requirements, bedbug forms, temperature-reporting devices — the rules don't sit still. Every regulatory update means new artwork, new prints, new postings — or a violation on the next inspection.
Faded paper nobody reads
Tape residue, peeling corners, signs printed two supers ago. Tenants stopped looking long before the inspector did. The lobby reads cluttered, feels neglected — and the postings still aren't compliant.
The turnkey solution
One install. One Dashboard. Every HPD-eligible notice covered.
CrownTV delivers digital signage compliance as a fully-managed package. Hardware, software, content, and install — under one contract. Built specifically for NYC HPD posting rules, not retrofitted from generic digital signage software.
Pairs with the rest of CrownTV: nationwide installation, managed services, and the CrownTV Dashboard.

-
Built-in multi-language support
Required HPD postings auto-rotate between English, Spanish, and any additional language your building serves — Mandarin, Bengali, Russian, Haitian Creole. One screen, every language HPD requires for your tenants.
The hardware
Samsung QM-series indoor commercial displays. Not consumer TVs.
A building lobby is a 24/7 public environment. Direct lighting, kids leaning on the wall, the occasional bored teenager looking for buttons to press. We ship Samsung QM-series indoor commercial displays — same panels used in airports, hospitals, and government offices — paired with the locked-down CrownTV Media Player. Zero external buttons. Anti-glare. Always on.
500 nit
High-brightness commercial panel
Samsung QM-series indoor 4K commercial display — twice the brightness of a consumer TV (typically 250 nits). Readable in sunlit lobbies, glass entrances, and bright overhead lighting. HPD requires postings to be "easily legible" — 500 nits clears that bar at any time of day.
24/7
Always-on operation, 16+ hour duty cycle
Rated for continuous public-space use without thermal throttling, image retention, or panel burn-in. Consumer TVs are designed for 6–8 hours a day and start failing in 12–18 months under always-on lobby duty — commercial QM-series panels routinely last 5–7 years.
0
External buttons, ports, or controls
No power button, no input switch, no volume rocker. Nobody in the lobby can change the channel, mute it, turn it off, or plug a USB into it. Every byte of content flows through CrownTV's locked-down digital signage CMS — tamper-proof by design.
4K
3840 × 2160 ultra-HD anti-glare
Crisp text rendering at any font size — critical when HPD mandates a minimum 0.25" character height for digital postings. Anti-glare matte coating eliminates reflection from lobby lighting, glass doors, and windows. Tenants read every notice, from any angle.
Optional · IK10-rated protective enclosure. Tempered-glass or polycarbonate shield mounted over the display. Recommended for NYCHA developments, high-traffic mailroom-adjacent lobbies, or any site with documented vandalism. Protects the screen from impact and tampering — the panel underneath stays fully visible.
See the full lineup on the commercial displays page, or the indoor displays hub.
What's covered
Every HPD lobby posting — what's digital, what's still paper.
NYC residential buildings carry over a dozen required HPD postings. Six are eligible for digital display under the February 2026 rule — the rest still require physical signs. Here's the complete map so you know exactly what your CrownTV display covers and which signs you keep alongside it.
Digital OK · Feb 2026 rule
All six must be on the screen if you go digital.
Digital OK
DSNY Garbage Collection
Current pickup days, recycling schedule, and curbside timing. When DSNY changes your route, you push an update — no reprint, no site visit, no plastic sleeve to replace.
Digital OK
Bedbug Annual Filing Receipt
Proof of your annual HPD-FORM-EBB submission. Auto-replaces last year's receipt when this year's filing is accepted by HPD.
Digital OK
Detector Notices
Smoke, carbon monoxide, and natural gas detector requirements and tenant maintenance responsibilities. Covers smoke detector + CO + Local Law 157 (gas detectors) in one rotation.
Digital OK
Interruption of Services
Water shutoffs, heat outages, elevator maintenance windows. Push a real-time alert to one lobby or fifty in seconds — tenants see it before they reach the elevator.
Digital OK
Temperature Reporting Device
For buildings with internet-capable temperature reporting devices: device info and instructions for tenants to access readings or submit complaints.
Adjacent posting requirements we manage
The full HPD signs and NYC lobby posting requirements set — tracked in your compliance Dashboard.
Tracked
Window guard notice (annual)
Every NYC residential building owner must distribute the annual window guard notice to tenants and post a building copy. Children under 11 trigger the requirement. We add a posting reminder to your compliance Dashboard each January.
Tracked
Stove knob cover notice
Local Law 117 of 2018 — owners must give residents stove knob covers and post the notice in buildings with at least one apartment occupied by a child under six. Distribution and posting tracked in CrownTV's compliance log.
Tracked
Smoke detector notice (NYC)
Smoke detector maintenance and tenant responsibility notice — required under NYC Administrative Code §27-2046. Rotates on the digital display alongside CO and gas detector notices in our combined Detector Notices template.
Tracked
Carbon monoxide + gas detector notice
Combined CO + Local Law 157 (natural gas) detector requirements. Tenant maintenance responsibilities and replacement cycles. One unified notice on the digital display, replacing three separate paper postings.
Tracked
Boiler inspection posting
Most recent DOB boiler inspection report posting — typically required in the boiler room and lobby. We track inspection cycle dates in the Dashboard so the posting is always current to your latest inspection.
Tracked
Managing agent posting
Required if the owner is not a natural person residing on-site or within the building. Name, business address, and 24-hour emergency contact for the managing agent — included in the Building Registration template on the digital display.
Physical posting still required
Paper or permanent placards.
Physical
Fire Safety Notice
Emergency preparedness notice — required on the inside of every apartment entrance door and in the lobby for buildings with 3+ apartments. Still paper.
Physical
Suspected Gas Leak Notice
How to identify gas odors and what to do. HPD specifically issues violations for missing gas-leak notices, so this stays on a permanent placard.
Physical
HPD Inspection Visit Card Frame
A 6" × 9" glass-pane frame mounted 48–62" above the floor at or near the mailboxes — holds the HPD inspector's visit card. Physical fixture.
Physical
Heating System Notice
Lobby + boiler-room postings naming the person responsible for the heating system. Permanent signage.
Physical
Building Address (Exterior)
Street number visible from the sidewalk at the front entrance. Exterior, not lobby — outside the digital scope.
Physical
ABCs of Housing / Rent Stabilization
Tenant information guide notice + rent stabilization notice (when applicable). Conspicuous mail-area posting in English and Spanish.
The legal stack behind NYC HPD signs
HPD violations stack fast. Here's the law behind every required posting.
NYC lobby posting requirements aren't one rule — they're a layered stack of city laws that each reference HPD for enforcement. Knowing which law generates which sign is what separates a property manager from an HPD violation file. Here's the working set CrownTV's compliance Dashboard tracks against.
Multiple Dwelling Law
The foundation of HPD signs
New York's Multiple Dwelling Law governs every residential building with three or more apartments. It's the source layer for HPD registration, posting requirements, owner identification, and tenant-information rules. Multiple Dwelling Law signs flow down from this statute into specific HPD enforcement actions.
Local Law 71 of 2018
Increased HPD posting fines
Local Law 71 raised civil penalties for HPD registration and posting violations. Buildings with 6+ units face $1,000–$5,000 per violation, with each missing or outdated HPD sign cited separately. This is why a single inspection can produce 5–10 stacked fines on a non-compliant lobby.
Local Law 55 of 2018
Indoor allergen hazard posting
Local Law 55 NYC requires owners to inspect for and remediate indoor allergen hazards (mold, pests, leaks) and provide an annual notice to tenants. We add the LL 55 annual notice cycle to your CrownTV compliance Dashboard so the posting and tenant distribution don't slip.
Local Law 18 of 2022
Short-term rental registration
Local Law 18 NYC governs short-term rental registration. Operators must verify and document compliance, and many buildings post a notice clarifying their short-term rental policy at the entrance. We support that notice as part of the CrownTV digital signage rotation when the building's policy requires it.
HPD Feb 2, 2026 rule
Digital posting authorization
The new HPD rule explicitly authorizes electronic HPD notices on a digital signage display in place of paper for six specific posting categories. Mandatory technical specs: ≥0.25" character height, adequate lighting, ADA-compliant placement, multi-language rotation. CrownTV templates ship pre-configured to the rule.
HPD violations economics
Why one missed sign costs $5,000+
HPD violations carry Class A, B, and C designations with their own fine schedules, daily-accumulation rules for unaddressed Class C, and follow-on costs (re-inspection, certification, legal). Across a 20-building portfolio, a single weak compliance posture compounds into five-figure annual exposure inside one inspection cycle.

HPD compliance digital signage — FAQ
Which HPD notices can go on a digital signage display?
Under the February 2, 2026 HPD rule, six required postings can be displayed digitally instead of paper: building registration, DSNY garbage collection, bedbug annual filing receipt, detector notices, interruption-of-services alerts, and internet-capable temperature reporting device info. If you elect digital, all six must be on the display — HPD does not allow mixing paper and digital for these specific notices. Other notices (fire safety, gas leak, heating system, etc.) still require physical postings.
What does HPD require for a digital sign in the lobby?
Minimum 0.25-inch character height, placement in a readily-visible common area, adequate lighting (which the screen provides itself), ADA-compliant mounting height, and multi-language display in English, Spanish, and any additional language the owner deems necessary for the building's tenant population. CrownTV's HPD compliance templates are pre-built to all of these specifications.
How much does HPD compliance digital signage cost?
Pricing depends on building count, lobby size, screen size, install scope, and whether you go subscription or capital purchase. Most NYC property managers choose a monthly subscription that bundles the Samsung QM-series display, CrownTV Media Player, cloud CMS, professional installation, and ongoing regulation updates into one recurring line item. We quote every project in 4 business hours.
What happens when HPD changes a regulation?
Our compliance team monitors HPD rule changes and revises the affected notice templates within the CrownTV CMS. The updated template is then pushed to every digital signage display across your portfolio — automatically, remotely, without you doing anything. That's the point of going digital: when the rule moves, the display moves.
Can the screen show building announcements between HPD notices?
Yes. The HPD-required postings always rotate as the priority content, and the remaining screen time is yours — building announcements, package notifications, amenity hours, community events, emergency alerts. The compliance content is enforced by the CMS so you can't accidentally bury it behind marketing.
Why not just use a regular TV from Best Buy?
Three reasons. (1) Consumer TVs have buttons — anyone in the lobby can press them. Commercial QM-series displays have zero physical controls; everything is locked behind the CMS. (2) Consumer TVs are rated for ~8 hours of daily use; lobby displays run 16–24 hours. Consumer panels typically fail within 12–18 months under that duty cycle, while commercial panels last 5–7 years. (3) Consumer TVs run at ~250 nits brightness with glossy panels — they wash out under lobby lighting. Commercial QM-series runs 500 nits with anti-glare. HPD requires the sign to be 'easily legible' and a dim, glare-covered TV won't pass inspection.
What size display do I need for my building lobby?
Most NYC residential lobbies fit a 43" or 55" Samsung QM-series indoor commercial display. Larger lobbies, long-corridor entrances, or buildings with mailroom alcoves may need 65" or 75". We size every install during the site survey based on HPD's visibility requirements — the notices need to be readable from the standing position a tenant naturally uses to check mail.
What are the actual fines for missing HPD signage?
Under Local Law 71, HPD registration violations carry $500–$1,500 fines for buildings with 5 or fewer units and $1,000–$5,000 for buildings with more than 5. Class A signage violations start at $500–$2,000 and can exceed $5,000 if uncorrected. Each missing or outdated posting can be cited as its own violation, so a single inspection visit to a non-compliant lobby commonly produces multiple stacked fines.
Do you install in all five boroughs?
Yes — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. CrownTV's HQ is in Manhattan (433 Broadway, Tribeca), and we run in-borough crews across all five so you're not paying out-of-borough trip charges or waiting for an installer to drive in from Long Island.
Can I use this outside NYC?
The HPD compliance package is specific to NYC HPD rules, but CrownTV operates digital signage installs nationwide across all 50 states. If you have buildings outside NYC with parallel lobby-posting requirements (Boston, Chicago, SF, etc.), we can help — just on the relevant local rule set rather than HPD.
What hardware do you actually ship?
Samsung QM-series indoor 4K commercial displays (typically QM43R / QM55R / QM65R sizing), the CrownTV Media Player, low-profile commercial mount, and all cabling. Optional IK10-rated polycarbonate or tempered-glass enclosure for high-traffic or higher-risk sites. Everything ships pre-kitted per building — install crews don't have to source anything on-site.
How fast can you get a building live?
Site survey to fully-live runs under a week per building for a single lobby. Multi-building portfolios are scheduled in coordinated waves so you're not absorbing every install at once. Typical 10-building rollout completes inside 4–6 weeks end to end, including content loading and Dashboard training.
What are HPD sign requirements for NYC residential buildings?
HPD sign requirements vary by building type, size, and tenant population — but every Class A/B multiple dwelling needs at minimum: an HPD building information sign (registration number, owner/managing agent, super and emergency contact), bedbug annual filing receipt, smoke + CO + gas detector notices, garbage and recycling schedule, fire safety notice, suspected gas leak notice, window guard notice, stove knob cover notice (if children under 6 reside), heating system notice, and the HPD inspection visit card frame. The Multiple Dwelling Law and HPD posting requirements together form the full set. CrownTV's compliance Dashboard tracks every required HPD sign against your inspection cycle so postings don't slip.
Do you provide digital signage for apartment buildings outside of HPD compliance?
Yes. The HPD digital sign package is the headline product, but the same Samsung commercial display and CrownTV cloud CMS support general digital signage for apartment buildings — package notifications, amenity hours, building announcements, community events, fitness center schedules, leasing-office content, and emergency alerts. Many of our NYC residential customers run a hybrid: HPD compliance content rotates as required, then the remaining screen time is yours to drive tenant communication and resident engagement.
