Lead exposure poses a significant health risk, especially for young children and pregnant women. Despite significant progress in reducing lead poisoning, it remains a concern in New York City, particularly in older buildings with lead-based paint. For property owners and management companies, addressing lead hazards is not only a moral responsibility but also a legal one. At Lead and Mold Detectives, we are here to help you navigate this critical issue and ensure your property is safe, compliant, and lead-free.
Why Is Lead Testing Essential?
Lead is a toxic metal that can have severe effects on health, especially in children, leading to developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral issues. Lead-based paint, banned in 1978, is still present in many older properties, and as it deteriorates, it creates hazardous lead dust. According to NYC guidelines, landlords must take proactive steps to identify and remediate lead hazards, particularly in homes where children under six reside.
Failing to address lead issues not only endangers your tenants but can also result in significant fines and violations. By testing for lead and taking appropriate action, you demonstrate a commitment to tenant safety and legal compliance.
