OUR Mission

Helping NYC Property Owners Create Safer Buildings

At LeadFreeNYC, our mission is to help property owners, landlords, building managers, and other professionals make informed decisions about lead-based paint. We understand that lead testing can be an important part of maintaining older properties, planning renovation work, and meeting applicable NYC requirements.

Our approach focuses on accurate testing, professional documentation, and straightforward communication. We don’t simply provide test results—we help property owners understand what those results mean for their building and what may need to happen next.

What We Do – Professional Lead Inspections You Can` Trust

Our lead inspection NYC services are designed for property owners and professionals who need dependable information about lead-based paint in their buildings.

EPA-Certified Lead Inspection Professionals

Lead paint testing should be performed by properly trained and certified professionals. Our inspections are conducted by qualified lead professionals who follow applicable testing and documentation procedures.

Using appropriate inspection methods, including XRF testing where applicable, we help identify painted surfaces that contain lead-based paint. This information can be valuable when planning renovation work, managing rental properties, addressing maintenance concerns, or evaluating an older building.

NYC Lead Paint Testing & Local Law 31

Lead-based paint regulations are particularly important for older NYC properties. Local Law 31 established lead-based paint testing requirements for certain residential buildings, and NYC has additional requirements governing lead-paint testing and safe work practices.

Current NYC requirements include specific testing provisions for certain buildings constructed before 1960, as well as certain buildings constructed between 1960 and 1978. Applicable properties may require testing by an EPA-certified lead inspector or risk assessor using XRF technology.

Because requirements can vary based on factors such as construction year, property type, occupancy, and applicable exemptions, property owners should evaluate their individual circumstances rather than assuming that one requirement applies to every building.

LeadFreeNYC can help you understand the inspection process and determine the appropriate testing scope for your property.

Lead Inspection for Property Owners, Landlords & Contractors ​

Whether you are preparing for renovation, managing a rental property, purchasing an older building, or addressing NYC lead-paint requirements, professional testing can give you the information needed to move forward with greater confidence.
