Lead Abatement
Uphold Regulations with Affordable Lead Testing for Your Home or Commercial Property in NYC
At EnviroNYC, we take pride in providing top-quality testing services to help keep your home or commercial property safe from hazardous contaminants. Lead contamination in homes and buildings poses a significant health risk, especially to children, and many buildings built prior to 1960 residential buildings utilize this problematic substance. New York City has taken proactive measures to address this concern through the implementation of Local Law 31.
If you're a landlord, Local Law 31 requires you to get a lead-based paint inspection and complete a visual or XRF assessment by qualified professionals by August 9th, 2025 or sooner if a child resides on the property. Our Lead and XRF Testing service is designed to offer you peace of mind and ensure a healthy living environment for you and your tenants.

The Importance of Lead Paint Inspections and Testing in NYC
Lead-based paint, commonly used in older buildings, poses a grave health threat when it deteriorates, resulting in lead dust or chips. Inspections and testing play a crucial role in identifying areas where lead paint may be present. Our trained professionals collect samples from surfaces such as walls, windows, and doors and use XRF testing analysis to determine if a lead is present. Accurate testing helps property owners, and residents understand the extent of lead contamination and take appropriate steps to protect themselves and their families.
What is XRF Testing?
XRF (X-ray fluorescence) testing is a non-destructive analytical method widely used for lead detection and analysis. This advanced technology utilizes X-rays to determine the elemental composition of a material, including the presence of lead. The process involves handheld XRF analyzers that emit X-rays onto the surface being tested. The analyzer then measures the X-ray fluorescence emitted by the material, providing immediate results on the presence and concentration of lead.
Understanding Local Law 31
Local Law 31, part of the comprehensive "Lead-Free NYC" campaign, focuses on lead poisoning prevention. This legislation requires property owners in NYC to hire an EPA-certified assessor for lead inspections and testing in residential buildings by 2025 or within one year if a child under the age of six comes to reside there. Non-compliance with the law can result in penalties, emphasizing the city's commitment to safeguarding public health.
