Manhattan Lead Paint Experts
EPA-certified inspection, testing, and abatement across every Manhattan neighborhood. HPD lead violation support.
Short answer: DeLeadNYC provides EPA-certified lead paint inspection, lead testing, lead paint removal and HPD lead violation help in Manhattan. As of October 2, 2026, NYC Open Data lists 19,789 open lead-related HPD violations in Manhattan.
Manhattan has a large number of pre-war walk-ups and elevator buildings, especially in Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood, the Lower East Side and Hell's Kitchen.
Co-ops, condos and rentals all can contain lead paint if built before 1978. Renovation in these buildings must follow lead-safe rules.
We work across Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood, the Upper West and East Sides, Midtown, Chelsea and the Lower East Side.
An EPA-certified inspector uses an XRF device to test painted surfaces without damaging them, and dust wipe samples show whether lead dust is present on floors and window sills. You get a written report listing which surfaces contain lead and what to fix first. See lead paint inspection in NYC and dust wipe testing.
More on methods: encapsulation vs removal.
If HPD has issued a lead paint violation, the notice lists a correction deadline. We fix the hazard, arrange clearance testing and help you file the certification of correction. See HPD violation removal.
