Lead testing
in Bayside.

The dwelling type, occupancy, shared areas, construction facts, planned work, and requested decision can change the needed scope.

Start with the property facts, not only the neighborhood name. Note whether the request covers a detached home, garden apartment, rental, co-op, or condominium; identify occupied rooms, shared areas, planned work, and the decision the report must support. A clear address and contact list helps keep requested areas separate from spaces that are unavailable or outside the agreed scope.

Ask for those areas when the building facts and applicable NYC requirement make them relevant. Keep them distinct from unit results.

For a garden apartment or other multi-unit property, describe the unit, entrances, halls, stairs, basements, and other common areas separately. Ask for each area that the property review or applicable NYC requirement makes relevant. One unit result should not be presented as a finding for the entire building. The inspector can then confirm access and define the boundary before the visit.

Do not assume it. Dust-wipe results depend on laboratory analysis and project requirements; same-day wording is limited to eligible XRF reports.

XRF readings and dust-wipe sampling are different workstreams. XRF field results may be available on an eligible schedule, but dust wipes require laboratory analysis and project-specific review. If both are requested, state which rooms or surfaces belong to each task and allow the dust report to follow laboratory timing rather than assuming it will be issued with the XRF visit. Keep any requested building-wide conclusion tied to the areas actually included.
