Questions to ask

• Will you do a full inspection (surface by surface), a risk assessment, or both?
• Will you use an XRF analyzer, paint chip samples, or dust wipes?

• How soon will I get the written report and any lead-safe certificate?
• If hazards are found, can you do clearance testing after the repairs?

New York lead paint rules in brief

• New York State does not run its own lead-based paint activities certification. EPA certifies firms and individuals there, and EPA's locator is the official lookup.
• In New York City, Local Law 1 of 2004 places lead-paint duties on landlords of older multiple dwellings where young children live. NYC HPD explains the current inspection and XRF-testing requirements.
• Lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments in pre-1978 housing must be done by EPA-certified inspectors or risk assessors working for an EPA-certified firm.

How to verify a Floral Park lead inspector

1. Check the firm or person in the official list (US Environmental Protection Agency). Ours was retrieved 2026-10-12, so confirm the certification is still current.
2. Ask for the certification or licence number in writing, plus the individual inspector's own credential.
3. Decide what you need first: an inspection or a risk assessment.
4. For abatement, use a certified abatement contractor, and have someone independent do the clearance test.
