Certified Lead Paint Inspections

Common Questions Per HPD:

What do I need to do if there is lead?

If there is lead-paint that is peeling in an apartment with a child under six, you must hire an EPA certified contractor immediately to address the hazard safely. If there is lead on a painted surface that is not peeling or there is no child under six that routinely spends more than 10 hours a week in the apartment, you do not need to take immediate action to remove the lead. See our webinars on Lead by searching "HPD LEAD" on https:// www.youtube.com.

How do I show proof I tested my building?

You MUST keep and maintain the testing records provided by your contractor for 10 years and provide them to HPD when requested.

When is the deadline?

Lead Paint Testing MUST be completed in all units and common areas by August 9th, 2025.

What is the penalty if I don't complete the testing in time?

Failure to comply may result in a Class "C" immediately hazardous violation, making you liable for civil penalties up to a maximum of $1500.
