Certified lead abatement in Midtown Manhattan's pre-war buildings. Discreet, efficient, fully compliant.
If you own qualifying rental property in Midtown, Manhattan, the building's age, unit count and occupancy determine which NYC lead rules apply. DeLeadNYC provides local inspection and abatement support.
Short answer: DeLeadNYC provides EPA-certified lead paint inspection, lead testing, lead paint removal and HPD lead violation help in Midtown. As of October 2, 2026, NYC Open Data lists 679 open lead-related HPD violations in Midtown's main ZIP codes.
Midtown is best known for offices, but neighborhoods like Hell's Kitchen, Murray Hill, Kips Bay and Chelsea still have many pre-war tenements and walk-up apartment buildings.
Commercial renovations in older buildings can also disturb lead paint, which is why EPA's lead-safe rules can apply to renovation work in pre-1978 buildings where children spend time.
We work across Hell's Kitchen, Murray Hill, Kips Bay, Turtle Bay, Chelsea and the Garment District.
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.
