Queens has a wide mix of housing: garden apartments in Jackson Heights, two-family homes in Astoria and Ridgewood, row houses in Long Island City and detached homes in eastern Queens.
Much of it was built between the 1910s and 1960s, before lead paint was banned for homes in 1978.
We work across Astoria, Long Island City, Jackson Heights, Ridgewood, Flushing, Jamaica and the Rockaways.
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.

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.
