In New York City, Local Law 1 of 2004, and its amendments, require landlords to identify and remediate lead-based paint hazards in the apartments using trained workers and safe work practices. Starting in February 2021, Local Law 1 of 2004 applies to all one-unit or more unit occupied buildings. The most recent update to Local Law 1 is Local Law 31 of 2022. It seeks to further protect children from lead exposure. There are 5-year testing requirements for all residential building owners in the NYC region and are required to at-least get their homes inspected by August 9, 2025. Lead-based paint hazards are presumed to exist in dwelling units and common areas if: 1- The building was built before January 1, 1960; 2- The building has tenant-occupied rental apartments; and 3- A child under the age of six resides in the dwelling unit.
