OUR
LEAD-PAINT
INSPECTIONS

Rental Unit Inspections

Pre-1960 apartment buildings are an essential part of New York’s charm, but many still contain paint layers from decades past. NYC Proven Lead Inspectors helps property owners and managers take the guesswork out of compliance. Every apartment inspection is performed by an EPA-licensed professional who knows exactly what to look for and how to make the process quick, respectful, and transparent.

Our focus is on rental units only, where accuracy and discretion are key. Using state-of-the-art XRF technology, our inspectors identify whether lead-based paint is present on doors, trim, windows, and walls without leaving any marks behind. You’ll receive a complete, easy-to-understand report detailing each test and your building’s compliance status.

We know that most owners simply want to do protect their tenants and stay on the right side of the law. That’s why we make communication clear and consistent, offering practical explanations instead of technical confusion. Whether it’s your first inspection or part of an annual review, NYC Proven Lead Inspectors ensures that you always feel informed and supported. With our certified guidance, you can manage your responsibilities confidently and protect the people who call your property home.

Common Area Inspections

Hallways, stairways, and entryways see constant movement and with that comes greater wear and potential exposure from old painted surfaces. NYC Proven Lead Inspectors provides certified lead-paint testing for these shared areas in pre-1960 residential buildings, ensuring your entire property remains compliant and safe for everyone who passes through.

Our EPA-licensed inspectors use precision equipment to test multiple surfaces in one visit. From banisters and railings to walls and door frames. We work efficiently to minimize any disturbance to your residents and deliver a comprehensive report with all results clearly outlined. Each report is formatted for HPD submission, so you can easily fulfill city requirements without the usual paperwork stress.

We understand that keeping your building up to code can feel like a lot of pressure. That’s why our team is here to help at every step, being ready to explain findings, deadlines, and requirements in plain language. NYC Proven Lead Inspectors combines professional rigor with a human touch, giving you the assurance that your building’s common spaces meet every standard with confidence and care.

The Inspection Process & Compliance

Lead-paint inspections don’t have to be complicated. NYC Proven Lead Inspectors turns a detailed legal requirement into a smooth, easy-to-manage process.

Reports are formatted for official use with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), giving you peace of mind and paperwork that’s ready to go.

Beyond testing, our role is to support you. We’re here to answer questions, clarify results, and help you understand exactly what’s needed to remain compliant over time. NYC Proven Lead Inspectors brings together technical excellence, regulatory expertise, and an approachable attitude.
