Comprehensive XRF Lead Paint Testing in NYC – Meet the 2025 Deadline

If you own or manage a residential building in New York City constructed before 1960, you are required by law to test for lead-based paint using XRF technology by August 9, 2025. Failure to comply can result in fines up to $1,500 per violation.

At LEW Environmental Services, our EPA-certified lead inspectors provide fast, accurate, and non-destructive XRF lead testing to help property owners stay compliant with NYC’s strict lead laws.

✔ Non-invasive – No scraping or lab samples required
✔ Accurate results – Immediate readings for efficient compliance
✔ EPA-approved – Required for NYC lead paint inspections
