What Is Local Law 31?

Hazardous substance management is governed by Local Law 31, an essential piece of legislation in New York City. In the past few years, New York City has updated the NYC Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act (Local Law 1 of 2004) several times to ensure children in the city have the best health protection. This law was recently updated by Local Law 31 of 2022, 2021, which seeks to protect children from lead exposure further. All residential building owners in the NYC region must get their homes inspected every five years for lead-based paints. Residential buildings built before 1960 or 1978 must undergo thorough inspection within years of the law’s effective date, preferably by August 9, 2025. It is recommended to get Manhattan Lead Inspections’s lead-based paint testing service in The Bronx if you have just moved into a new apartment or home with some level of lead exposure. Contact us today if you are a building owner searching for a reliable business to perform XRF lead testing according to local law 31.

What Does Local Law 31 State?

According to Local Law 31,

The use of X-Ray Fluorescence analysers is now required for all surfaces, regardless of whether they are in a rental unit or an apartment building.

Before hiring a lead-based paint remediation specialist, an EPA-certified lead inspector or risk assessor must perform all lead-based inspections.

The law requires a complete inspection of buildings built before 1978 within five years of its effective date. This must be done no later than August 9, 2025.

If you have a child under the age of six, your paint inspection will be fast-forwarded to August 9, 2021.

How Can Lead Paint-Based Hazards Affect Your Health?

New York City has banned lead-based paint since 1960. These types of paint can pose a threat to children, especially in older buildings.

Chipped, flaked, and deteriorated lead-based paint can become a health hazard to elderly people, children and pregnant women.

Lead particles can have several long-term health consequences, including damage to the brain and nervous system, learning disabilities, and even death when inhaled or ingested.

As a result, it is essential to take all precautions before moving into an older building. In addition, lead-based paint can cause poisoning in the following ways:

  • The dust produced by deteriorating lead paint
  • Door frames, windowsills, and door frames peel off lead paint
  • Rotted wood or crumbling plaster with lead paint
  • A child is likely to chew on lead paint when it is present on surfaces
Is your property showing any of these signs? Call our lead paint testing experts in the Bronx to inspect the premises and make your premises local law 31 compliant.

Each condo or co-op rented or sublet unit must undergo a new XRF inspection in the Bronx every five years (or one year). In the case of condominiums and co-ops, you are exempt if a shareholder or family resides in the unit. Renting out your properties requires staying on top of the inspection process.
