WHAT WE TEST
Checks tested painted surfaces for lead. For renovation planning or documenting paint conditions.
Measures lead in settled dust. Samples go to a laboratory, so report timing depends on analysis.
Decide whether the project covers one unit, repeated windows, or common stairs. A marked floor plan helps keep included and excluded locations clear for each area.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
It depends on the work order. List the affected apartment windows and any common windows separately so the quote and report match the actual repair.
For a Kingsbridge window project, separate apartment windows from common-area windows in the request. Name the unit, floor, room, window or trim component, and access contact when possible. If the contractor will work on a stair, hallway, basement, or exterior window, list that area separately. This keeps the quote and report aligned with the work order rather than with a general building description.
It should identify the location and component for each included test point. Repetition in the building does not prove that every untested component has the same result.
Repeated components still need location labels. A report can list the floor, room, side of the building, window, door, or trim section for each included test point. Similar construction does not establish the result for an untested component. Ask for a scope review if the work plan changes or if a component becomes reachable after the original visit.
Ask before new painted surfaces enter the work. A changed renovation plan, added floor, or newly accessible common area can require a scope review.
Request more Kingsbridge testing before new painted surfaces enter the renovation. Send the revised floor plan or component list, identify the added floor or common area, and explain the planned disturbance. The added request should remain distinct from the earlier report. Current NYC requirements may also depend on the property and project facts, so confirm the applicable HPD process. HPD paint-testing guidance.
