WHAT WE OFFER
Lead - Based Paint
Inspections
​
✔ XRF Testing for Instant Results – We use advanced X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology, a non-invasive method that detects lead-based paint without damaging surfaces. This allows us to quickly and accurately assess the presence of lead in your property.
​
✔ Comprehensive, Detailed Reports – We provide a clear, easy-to-understand report outlining our findings, including specific locations of lead-based paint and recommendations for compliance. Our reports are delivered quickly, ensuring you have the documentation needed to meet legal deadlines.
​
✔ Local Law 31 Compliance – NYC law requires landlords of pre-1960 buildings (or 1960-1978 buildings with known lead hazards) to conduct XRF inspections before August 9, 2025. We ensure you meet these requirements, helping you avoid fines and legal complications.
​
✔ Flexible & Efficient Scheduling – We understand the urgency of compliance deadlines, which is why we offer prompt service and flexible appointment times to accommodate your needs, whether for a single unit or a large portfolio.
​
IF LEAD IS FOUND, we guide you on the next steps, including risk assessments, clearance testing, and remediation options.
Clearance Testing & Certification
✔ Visual Inspection – We examine the work area to ensure no visible dust, debris, or paint chips remain.
✔ Lead Dust Sampling – Using specialized techniques, we collect dust wipe samples from floors, windowsills, and other surfaces where lead dust can accumulate.
✔ Laboratory Analysis – All samples are analyzed by an EPA-accredited laboratory to determine if lead levels meet clearance criteria.
✔ Detailed Compliance Report
​
- If the area passes inspection, we issue an official clearance certificate, verifying that the property is safe for occupancy and in full compliance with local, state, and federal lead safety regulations.
​
​If a property fails clearance, we provide a corrective action plan with guidance on necessary steps for re-cleaning and retesting to achieve compliance.
Lead Risk Assesments
✔ On-Site Evaluation – Our expert assessors conduct a thorough inspection of the property to identify areas where lead-based paint, deteriorating surfaces, or lead-contaminated dust may pose a risk.
​
✔ Environmental Sampling – We collect dust wipe samples from high-risk areas, including floors, windowsills, and other surfaces where lead dust tends to accumulate. Samples are then analyzed by an EPA-accredited laboratory to determine lead concentrations.
​
✔ Soil and Water Testing (If Necessary) – In some cases, we may collect soil and water samples to assess potential contamination from exterior lead-based paint or lead pipes.
​
✔ Risk Identification & Analysis – Using the collected data, we provide a detailed assessment of lead hazards present in the property, distinguishing between intact lead-based paint and deteriorated surfaces that pose an immediate risk.
​
✔ Compliance & Regulatory Guidance – Our assessments align with HUD, EPA, and NYC Local Law 31 regulations, ensuring property owners understand their obligations and avoid potential penalties.
​
✔ Comprehensive Risk Assessment Report – After our evaluation, we provide a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining:
-
Identified lead hazards
-
Laboratory test results
-
Risk level assessments
-
Recommended corrective actions
