Lead paint testing protect your family
If your building was constructed before 1978, it may contain lead-based paint and in New York City, most buildings built before 1960 are legally required to be tested under Local Law 31. Lead paint becomes hazardous when it deteriorates into chips or dust, which is the main route of lead exposure for young children.
Children under the age of six are more vulnerable to the toxicity effects caused by lead poisoning. Therefore, getting your home checked for traces of lead paint is highly advised.
The certified lead paint inspector in NYC at Manhattan Lead can ensure your home or office is safe from hazardous levels of lead. We use XRF testing and other advanced techniques to assess and test for the presence of lead around your home or office.

Lead exposure can cause serious, lasting harm particularly to children under six, whose nervous systems are still developing. In children it’s associated with reduced IQ, learning and behavioral difficulties, and developmental delays. In adults, prolonged exposure is linked to kidney and cardiovascular effects, and lead exposure during pregnancy carries risks to the pregnancy.
Because lead paint hazards are often invisible fine dust rather than visible chips testing is the only way to know whether your property is safe.

FAQ'S
Swallowing lead can cause many health problems. If you accidentally swallow lead, it can result in serious health issues for your children because their bodies are fragile. They do not have a strong nervous system and the ones who are younger than 6 have a nervous system that’s still developing. Ingesting or inhaling too much lead can cause many problems such as:
Small amounts of lead found in adults is not considered harmful, however even low levels of lead in children can be dangerous. Common symptoms of lead poisoning include headaches, stomach aches, cramps, fatigue, muscle and joint pains. Often times adults who have lead poisoning may not experience symptoms or appear ill. Ultimately, the only way to confirm lead poisoning is to check the amount of lead in a person’s blood. It could be a sign of lead exposure. Also, you can check for lead in your home’s water supply and soil if you live close to a factory, power plant or any other source of lead contamination. If you do find lead in your environment, we recommend having a professional perform a lead paint inspection . We make hiring a lead paint expert easy and convenient!
Local Law 31 of 2020 requires owners of NYC multiple dwellings built before 1960 — and 1960–1978 buildings where the owner knows lead paint is present — to have every dwelling unit and common area tested for lead-based paint using XRF, performed by an EPA-certified inspector. The compliance deadline was August 9, 2025. It is a standing testing requirement, not something triggered only by renovation work.
If the property was built before 1978 and you’re planning to purchase it, it’s best to get it tested for lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was used up until 1978 and can still be present on walls, windows and doors. By getting it tested you can protect your family from exposure to lead and its hazardous effects. Especially if your property will be rented out to families and tenants with children 6 years of age or younger, you will want to have the domicile inspected for lead based paint.
