Lead testing
in East Village.

Send the address, rooms or components, access limits, planned work, and the decision deadline. If you need dust wipes, explain the dust question so the scope and timing are clear.

Before renovation testing in an East Village apartment or building, provide the address, rooms affected by the work, painted components that may be disturbed, access limits, work description, and decision deadline. Include a simple sequence if work will occur in stages. The clearer the work zone, the easier it is to distinguish surfaces needing paint testing from questions that concern dust after work.

XRF fits a question about painted components. Dust wipes fit a settled-dust or post-work question and require laboratory analysis. One project may need one method or both.

Request XRF for painted components that renovation may disturb. Request dust wipes when you need information about settled dust or a post-work condition; the samples go to a laboratory. A renovation plan can need one method or both, but the request should say which rooms and question belong to each method rather than treating dust analysis as another form of XRF testing.

A report covers the areas and components included in the agreed scope. It does not cover inaccessible areas or decide repairs, transactions, or other requirements outside that scope.

The report covers the rooms and components named in the agreed renovation scope, together with the testing method and relevant access limits. Keep the work description with the report so later readers understand its purpose. Testing documents the sampled condition; it does not select construction controls, approve repairs, or cover surfaces that were never available for testing.
