What Changed?

New York City enacted Local Laws 111, 122, and 123 (2023) which expand lead-based paint testing, disclosure, and remediation requirements beginning in 2024. These laws increase where and when XRF testing is required, strengthen documentation duties, and accelerate hazard response timelines.

Applies to:
Residential rentals, pre‑1960 buildings (and certain 1960–1978), common areas, and childcare settings.
Core actions:
XRF testing & certification, annual/turnover investigations, repair & repaint compliance, HPD/DOHMH records.
Timing:
Phase‑in started 2024 with additional milestones through 2025 and beyond (agency updates may refine dates).

FAQs

Do I need to test every apartment?

Requirements depend on building age, prior exemptions, and occupant status. We’ll confirm scope during a short intake call and align with current HPD/DOHMH guidance.

What is an XRF lead inspection?

A handheld analyzer measures lead in paint in situ without disturbing surfaces. Results are immediate and recorded by location and substrate.

How quickly can work start if hazards are found?

Timelines vary by condition and violation class. We prioritize child‑occupied units and create a compliant action plan to avoid penalties.
