Annual inspections, turnover requirements, and why XRF testing is recommended.
Local Law 1 of 2004 mandates annual visual inspections for rental units in pre-1960 buildings where children under 6 reside. It also requires turnover inspections when tenants move in or out.
While Local Law 1 only requires visual inspection, XRF testing provides conclusive documentation that:
Whenever a tenant moves out of a pre-1960 building, landlords must conduct a turnover inspection before the next tenant moves in.
Consequence of skipping: If a new tenant moves in and later discovers lead hazards, you face Class C violations with penalties up to $5,000 per violation.
Why XRF provides superior protection for Local Law 1 compliance.
Comprehensive testing that exceeds visual inspection requirements.
We begin with the required visual inspection, documenting any peeling or deteriorating paint that requires immediate remediation.
Using the SciAps X-550 Pb, we test all painted surfaces to definitively identify lead paint presence, even under newer layers. This creates a permanent record of lead paint locations.
You receive a comprehensive report that satisfies Local Law 1 visual inspection requirements PLUS definitive XRF results. This dual compliance protects you from future violations.
We provide recommendations for monitoring lead paint surfaces, encapsulation options, and annual re-inspection schedules to maintain compliance.
