Mott Haven has historic 19th-century row houses on streets like East 138th and 139th, plus many pre-war walk-ups and large public housing developments.
Historic row houses often have original woodwork and windows, which are common places to find lead paint under newer coats.
We work across the Mott Haven Historic District, Alexander Avenue, Port Morris and Third Avenue.
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.
