Lead testing
in Jackson Heights.

Keep entry notices, contacts, attempts, refusals, rescheduled visits, and the units or shared areas that were not available.

A useful access record names the building, units, shared areas, contacts, notices, attempted times, refusals, rescheduled visits, and spaces that were unavailable. Keep those notes with the report so a reviewer can see the inspection boundary. A missed unit or locked room should remain visible as a limitation rather than disappearing into a general statement that the building was inspected.

HPD describes covered Local Law 31 XRF testing as one-time. Annual notices and visual duties are separate and fact-dependent.

HPD's description of covered Local Law 31 XRF testing should not be read as an annual XRF schedule. Annual notice, visual-investigation, repair, and documentation duties are separate questions that depend on the property and situation. Use the exact building facts and applicable guidance when planning work; do not replace a fact-specific review with a neighborhood-wide assumption. HPD paint-testing guidance.

No. Correction, abatement, clearance, documentation, and agency steps may remain separate from the testing report.

Testing is one documentation step, not a complete violation response. If HPD issued a notice, keep its violation number, named unit or common area, affected room or surface, and required action with the request. Match the inspection to that record, then confirm whether correction, safe work, clearance, certification, or agency submission remains. A report alone does not close the notice. Keep the notice and report together for any follow-up review. Preserve the access record with the notice.
