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.
