NYC Local Law 1 Requirements
In New York City, Local Law 1 of 2004 requires that landlords conduct lead-based paint inspections in pre-1960 buildings where a child under 6 resides.
Property owners must perform annual inspections, maintain records of all inspections and repair work, and address lead hazards promptly using safe work practices.
Our professional lead inspections help property owners comply with these regulations and avoid potential HPD violations that can result in significant fines.
Common Signs That Lead Inspection May Be Needed:
- Your building was constructed before 1978
- Paint is peeling, chipping, chalking, or cracking
- Children under 6 live in or regularly visit the property
- Recent renovations disturbed painted surfaces
- You've received an HPD violation notice
