HPD Signs
HPD signs assist buildings in complying with requirements and avoiding fines through proper notices.
Required HPD Signs for Residential Buildings
The NYC HPD requires that all registered residential buildings with three or more units—or any building managed by an off-site owner—display a variety of signs. These signs serve essential functions, from informing tenants of emergency procedures to supporting tenant rights and guiding first responders during emergencies.
At NY CITY SIGNS, we’ve helped countless property owners and managers stay compliant by manufacturing and installing the required HPD signs quickly and correctly.
Different Types of HPD Signs

In general, each of these signs must meet specific technical requirements, so customization is limited. We offer templates to ensure your signs are in compliance with HPD. We do offer the following options to create the right sign for your building:
HPD signs are commonly made from acrylic, aluminum composite, styrene, or PVC. Certain signs like Fire Safety Notices should be crafted from fireproof material.
Signs can be produced in approved color schemes to meet HPD rules while complementing your building’s look and improving visibility for residents and visitors.
Depending on the sign, dimensions are usually 3” x 12”, 3” x 6”, 8.5” x 11”, and 10” x 11”. In some cases, custom sizing is available.
