New NYC legislation mandates updated lead-based paint testing, recordkeeping, and audit requirements. We can help property owners comply ahead of approaching deadlines.
You'll need to provide annual notice and investigation records if there are any lead-based paint hazards or turnover violations. This requirement starts on September 1, 2024. You can learn more about what's needed for these records by watching the HPD webinar titled "Lead-Based Paint Annual Notice and Recordkeeping: An Owner’s Guide to Compliance in NYC" on YouTube. Additionally, you can register for upcoming webinars announced by HPD or review the information in the Owner’s Annual Notice section.
Starting in August 2025, you must also keep XRF testing records handy and provide them whenever there's a lead-based paint hazard or turnover violation. This is a critical step in ensuring compliance with the new regulations.
Complete XRF testing in common areas by August 2025, and keep these records to submit to HPD upon request. Remember, all apartments must be tested by this deadline as well. HPD advises property owners to seek exemptions for any areas without lead-based paint or where lead paint has been successfully removed.
Under Local Law 123 of 2023, property owners must address lead-based paint hazards in certain situations to protect young children. If a child under six years old lives in a unit suspected of having lead-based paint, and the building was built before 1960 or is a private dwelling constructed before January 1, 1960, then by January 1, 2025, the owner is required to remove lead paint from door and window areas and make sure that all floors are smooth and easy to clean by July 2027. Additionally, if a child under six moves into such a unit after January 1, 2025, the property owner has three years from the child's move-in date to complete these remediations.
XRF lead testing involves a surface-by-surface investigation to determine whether lead-based paint is present in a house, dwelling unit, or residential building.
Paint chip sampling plays a crucial role in testing and assurance by capturing and quantifying lead levels from paint chips present on different substrates. This method helps assess whether the detected lead levels indicate a potential lead problem, particularly before renovations or abatement activities. By determining the specific amount of lead manufactured into the paint, paint chip sampling provides a clear and accurate assessment of lead hazards.
Our certified lead risk assessors are highly trained professionals who perform a range of essential activities, including inspection, post-abatement clearance, lead hazard screening, and comprehensive risk assessments.
Each member of our team has passed accredited inspector and risk assessor courses approved by the EPA, reflecting our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and expertise in the field. Trust us to provide thorough and reliable lead inspection services for your property.
If you're planning any project that may disrupt lead-containing material, such as removing walls, repainting or repairing surfaces, it's crucial to have the area tested for lead to protect your safety and comply with government regulations. Lead dust cleaning plays a vital role in ensuring a safe environment by effectively removing harmful lead particles that can be released during such activities.
These microscopic particles can pose significant health risks, especially to children and pregnant women, leading to serious health issues, such as cognitive impairment and developmental delays. By thoroughly cleaning lead dust and adhering to proper safety protocols, you help safeguard the well-being of occupants and workers, ensuring your project meets all necessary safety and compliance standards.
To address and thoroughly eliminate lead hazards, we are committed to provide comprehensive lead abatement. The primary goal of this process is to completely remove any presence of lead, enabling us to make a "Lead Free" claim about your building, home, or structure.
To ensure full compliance with all major laws and regulations concerning lead removal, a government agency will be involved from the outset. This collaboration guarantees that every step of the lead abatement process adheres to stringent safety and regulatory standards, ultimately providing a safer and healthier environment for all occupants.
If lead-based paint hazards are detected in your home, the government will issue violations to conduct lead remediation and abatement. This ensures that you address all risks promptly and adhere to health and safety standards, ultimately protecting the most vulnerable occupants and preventing future violations. We would be involved throughout the whole process.
By utilizing our testing services, you can have peace of mind knowing that your property will be in full compliance with all lead-based paint regulations, especially in properties where children under six reside. During our comprehensive lead-based paint inspection, we take meticulous care to identify any lead-based paint hazard violations, including those on door and window friction surfaces.
The XRF device is a specialized x-ray tool used to detect lead levels in paint layers. It assesses lead presence on surfaces and within paint layers by measuring x-ray fluorescence. Lead paint inspections identify potential hazards and assess health risks associated with lead-based paint. EPA mandates certified lead risk assessors inspect homes built before 1978 and occupied by pregnant women or children under six.
