Lead testing
in Astoria.

Same-day XRF reports may be available, depending on scope, access, scheduling and field conditions. Confirm availability before booking. Dust-wipe reports depend on the laboratory.

For an Astoria apartment, include the approximate building age, the unit or common areas requested, and access details for each space. HPD says covered pre-1960 multiple dwellings require XRF investigation of residential units and common areas, so a test plan should name the areas rather than treat one room as the whole building. XRF tests painted surfaces; it does not replace dust-wipe sampling when a project or agency process calls for dust results. See HPD's paint-testing guidance.

Yes. List the apartment, shared areas and storefront separately in your request so we can confirm access and quote the areas you want included.

In an Astoria building with apartments above a storefront, the entrance, vestibule, stairs, hallway or basement access may be shared. Tell us which areas belong to the residence, which belong to the storefront, and which are shared. If renovation will disturb painted surfaces in a pre-1978 apartment or child-occupied space, EPA lead-safe work rules may also apply; EPA's RRP guidance explains that separate requirement. A clear room list keeps testing scope separate from repair or containment work.

A test documents the areas tested. Repairs, clearance requirements and agency review may still be needed.

If HPD issued a notice, send the violation number, Astoria address, named unit or common area, and affected room or surface. This helps match testing to the documented issue. HPD correction may involve safe work, clearance documentation, certification, or agency review, depending on the notice and work performed. A test does not repair deteriorated paint, prove every required area was corrected, or automatically close a violation. Ask HPD or counsel what submission the specific notice requires.
