WHAT WE TEST
Paint or dust?
Dust-wipe sampling
Measures lead in settled dust. Samples go to a laboratory, so report timing depends on analysis.
Forest Hills requests may involve a home, rental, co-op, condominium, or shared area. State the unit type and access contact, then keep unavailable rooms outside the reported scope.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
Do Forest Hills co-ops and rentals use one automatic scope?
No. Occupancy, common areas, construction facts, and the applicable NYC rule must be reviewed for the specific property.
A co-op, rental, condominium, and private home can present different access and occupancy facts. Start with the exact address, unit list, common areas, construction information, planned work, and requested decision. Do not use the property label alone to select a scope. The final report should identify what was included and any room or component that could not be opened.
What should a Forest Hills manager give the inspector?
Provide the address, unit and common-area list, access contacts, prior records, occupancy details, and planned repair dates.
Before the visit, a manager should provide an organized access package: unit and common-area list, named contacts, prior reports, occupancy notes, planned repair dates, and known restrictions. Add instructions for locked rooms or scheduled entry. This reduces avoidable gaps, but it does not turn an unavailable space into a tested space or expand a report beyond the areas actually inspected.
Can an XRF report certify a Forest Hills apartment as safe?
No. XRF documents paint readings within scope. Correction, abatement, dust clearance, and legal review can be separate steps.
An XRF report documents readings from tested painted components within the agreed scope. It does not certify an apartment as generally safe, perform repairs, or substitute for dust clearance, abatement, or agency review. If a notice or renovation process is involved, match the report to the specific rooms and surfaces and confirm what additional documentation the property decision requires. Keep limitations easy for the next reviewer to find. Record excluded rooms beside the included areas.
