What is Local Law 31 in Queens?

Local Law 31 holds significant importance in New York City. It sets specific standards and requirements for the management of hazardous substances. The NY Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act (Local Law 1 of 2004) has undergone several updates in recent years to establish strict regulations prioritizing children’s health protection. The most recent update, Local Law 31 of 2022, legislated in 2021, aims to safeguard children from lead exposure further.

Under this law, all residential building owners in the NYC region are subject to a five-year testing requirement. The deadline for obtaining home inspections is set for August 9, 2025. It’s crucial to note that apartment residents with a year’s restriction of 6 or older must undergo inspections much sooner. Inspections should take place within approximately one year of the law’s enactment or by August 9, 2021.

Buildings constructed before 1978, particularly those built before 1960, must undergo complete inspections within five years of the law’s effective date, August 9, 2025.
