Safety with Professional Local Law 31

Local Law 31: inspection deadline passed — are your units covered?

NYC Local Law 31 of 2020 required owners of residential buildings built before 1960 — and buildings built 1960–1978 where lead paint is known to be present — to have covered units tested for lead-based paint with XRF by an EPA-certified inspector or risk assessor by August 2025. Owners must keep the results and address lead paint that is found, especially in units where a child under six lives. Exit Lead helps owners catch up on missed inspections, organize records and plan remediation.

Regulations we work under: NYC Local Law 31 of 2020, NYC Local Law 1 of 2004, and HPD lead-based paint rules and recordkeeping requirements.
