Why It Is Important to Post the Janitor Name/Address Sign in Buildings

Posting the Janitor Name and Address Sign is not just a good building management practice—it is a legal requirement under the New York City Housing Maintenance Code (HMC § 27-2053). This law requires property owners to post a notice in a visible location within the building that includes the name and address of the janitor, superintendent, or person responsible for maintaining the property.

Compliance With the Law

By posting this aluminum sign, building owners ensure they are in full compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code. Failure to comply can result in fines, penalties, or violations from the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Having the correct signage helps avoid costly tickets and keeps the building up to city standards.

Easy Access for Tenants

This sign is vital for tenants because it provides them with direct information on who to contact if there are issues in the building. Whether it’s a plumbing leak, heating problem, or any emergency, tenants know exactly who the responsible person is and how to reach them. It creates a sense of security and ensures problems can be addressed quickly.

Building Safety and Maintenance

When tenants know the janitor or superintendent’s details, small issues can be reported right away before they become larger and more expensive repairs. This helps maintain the building’s safety, prevents hazards, and ensures that the living environment remains comfortable and habitable.

Transparency and Accountability

Posting this information also creates accountability. Tenants know who is responsible for building upkeep, and city inspectors can quickly confirm that the property has a designated caretaker. Transparency protects both owners and residents by making sure responsibilities are clear.

Professional and Durable Signage

Using an aluminum sign is important because it is durable, rust-free, and professional-looking. It ensures that the posting remains visible and legible over time, even in high-traffic areas like lobbies or entryways. This matches the city’s expectation that the notice should be posted “conspicuously” for all tenants and inspectors to see.

✅ Section of the Law:
HMC § 27-2053 – Every multiple dwelling must have posted the name and address of the janitor, housekeeper, or superintendent responsible for the building’s maintenance.
