Lead Abatement & Compliance | Energy Plus

Lead Paint Isn’t Just a Health Hazard — It’s a Legal and Financial Risk

Most NYC buildings still have lead risk.

If you’re not compliant, you’re exposed to:

  • Fines
  • Violations
  • Lawsuits
  • Tenant risk

Local Law 31: What Owners Need to Know

  • Covered NYC buildings require certified XRF inspections.
  • Reports and documentation must be maintained for compliance.
  • If hazards are found, remediation and closeout are required.
  • HPD may request documentation and compliance records.

Do These Rules Apply to Your Building?

Most NYC buildings built before 1960 are affected. Some buildings built between 1960–1978 may also qualify.
