NYC Lead Safe Testing Experts for All Residential & Commercial Properties
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 toxic effects caused by lead poisoning. Therefore, getting your home checked for traces of lead paint is highly advised.
Our certified lead paint inspectors use XRF testing and other advanced techniques to assess and test for the presence of lead around your home or office.
Licensed and equipped
EPA-licensed inspectors using the SciAps X550PB XRF analyzer.
Every Manhattan Lead inspection is performed by an EPA-certified team under our EPA lead-based paint inspection firm license. We test with the SciAps X550PB, a handheld XRF analyzer built specifically for lead-in-paint testing, so painted surfaces can be read on site through every layer of paint without scraping or damage.

FAQ'S
For a question about a specific property, call(212) 226-1614.
Why should I be concerned about lead exposure?
Swallowing or inhaling lead can cause serious health issues, especially for children younger than six because their nervous systems are still developing. Lead exposure can contribute to speech, hearing, growth and learning issues.
How do I know if I am being exposed to lead?
Lead exposure may not cause obvious symptoms. Blood testing can confirm lead in a person, while professional testing can check paint, water and soil in the property environment.
What is Local Law 31?
Local Law 31 requires owners of qualifying NYC multiple dwellings to have dwelling units and common areas tested for lead-based paint using XRF equipment by an EPA-certified inspector. The testing and recordkeeping requirement remains in effect.
I am buying a property. Should I get it tested for lead-based paint?
If the property was built before 1978, testing can help identify lead-based paint before purchase and give owners useful information for protecting occupants, especially children younger than six.
