Correct lead hazards with controlled work practices.

Lead abatement addresses identified lead paint hazards through methods such as component removal, surface preparation and encapsulation. The chosen method depends on the condition, component and required compliance outcome.

Work areas require containment, dust control, specialized cleanup and independent clearance testing before they can be returned to normal use.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Lead Abatement NYC.

For a question about a specific property, call(212) 226-1614.

Is painting over lead paint enough?

Ordinary repainting does not necessarily correct a lead hazard. The appropriate method depends on the component, paint condition and applicable requirements.

Is clearance testing separate from abatement?

Yes. Independent clearance testing after the work verifies dust conditions and supports compliance documentation.

Do you serve all five boroughs?

Yes. Manhattan Lead serves Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island.

How do I schedule service?

Call with the property address, building type and reason for service. The team will review the appropriate scope before scheduling.
