What a Lead Paint Risk Assessment Includes

(HEALTH, SAFETY & COMPLIANCE)

A lead-based paint risk assessment evaluates a property for lead-based paint hazards and conditions that could contribute to exposure. The assessment includes a visual review of painted surfaces and, when appropriate, dust or soil sampling to identify potential sources of lead exposure.
The findings help property owners understand where lead hazards are present and what actions may be appropriate to address them. Results are documented clearly to support safer property conditions and informed compliance decisions.

This Professional Assessment Includes

Visual Survey

Environmental Sampling

Dust wipe and soil samples may be collected when appropriate to evaluate potential lead contamination in areas where exposure could occur.

Hazard Rating & Analysis

NYC Lead Requirements & Risk Assessments

A lead-based paint risk assessment evaluates whether lead hazards are present and identifies conditions that could contribute to exposure. In New York City, it can provide useful information alongside required lead inspections, testing, and other compliance measures.
The appropriate assessment depends on the property, its condition, and the reason for testing. A risk assessment may be particularly useful in the following situations.
Property Transactions

A risk assessment can provide buyers, sellers, and property owners with detailed information about existing lead hazards before a transaction. The findings can support required disclosures, identify conditions that may need attention, and help all parties make informed decisions about repairs, property management, and future occupancy.

Renovations

Before renovation or repair work, evaluating existing lead hazards can help property owners and contractors understand conditions that may require lead-safe work practices. Projects that disturb lead-based paint may also be subject to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule requirements.

Child-Occupied Units

Properties where a child under six resides may be subject to additional New York City lead requirements, particularly when deteriorated paint or other potential hazards are present. A risk assessment can help identify lead hazards and provide information for determining appropriate corrective action.

A lead-based paint risk assessment provides property-specific information about existing hazards and potential exposure conditions. It can help owners understand what was identified, determine appropriate next steps, and support broader lead-safety and compliance efforts.
