Why Dust Wipe Testing for Local Law 1?

Visual inspection (required by Local Law 1) only identifies visible peeling paint. Dust wipe testing detects lead dust from friction surfaces (windows, doors) that create invisible hazards for children.

When to Use Dust Wipe Testing

  • Annual inspections for units with children under 6 (proactive)
  • After minor repairs or painting (detect dust from work)
  • High-risk areas: window sills, door frames, floors near windows
  • Tenant concerns about lead dust exposure
