IS YOUR RENTAL PROPERTY SAFE?
APARTMENT BUILDINGS BUILT BEFORE 1960 COULD HAVE LEAD PAINT.
Under the City’s Childhood
Lead Poisoning Prevention
Act, rental property owners
must inspect and remediate
all potential lead hazards
safely — or face enforcement
and penalties.
NEED HELP?
Peeling lead paint is the
most commonly identified
source of lead poisoning in
young children, who can
swallow lead paint dust
and chips from window
sills and floors.
Owners must use
certified lead paint
contractors and safe
work practices.
If you can’t afford to fix or remove lead paint
hazards in your rental properties, there are grants
and other resources available that can help.
Visit nyc.gov/leadfree TODAY for information about
what your responsibilities are to get ahead of lead and
resources available to help you.
