Lead Testing in Floral Park

Floral Park straddles the border of Nassau County and Queens, giving it a unique character that blends suburban Long Island with the urban edge of New York City. With a population of about 15,800, the village features well-maintained pre-war homes built primarily in the 1920s through 1950s.

Common Building Types

Floral Park features a variety of residential properties including pre-war Cape Cod homes, Colonial-style houses, Tudor cottages, older bungalows, and a small number of multi-family buildings near the village center. Each building type presents unique lead paint challenges that require professional XRF testing to identify.

Lead Paint Risks in Floral Park

Floral Park's high percentage of pre-war single-family homes means most properties in the village may contain lead-based paint. The village's border location with Queens means housing characteristics are similar to older NYC neighborhoods.
