"Under Local Law 1 of 2004 and the New York City Health Code, condos and co-ops that meet the definition of a "multiple dwelling" are subject to the lead-based paint inspection and remediation requirements.
Any condo or co-op unit that is being rented or sublet is subject to the new 5-year (or 1-year) XRF inspection ( Lead Paint Inspections ) requirements. However, if the unit is occupied by the owner, shareholder, or their family, they are exempt from the inspection requirements."
It is important for co-op and condo owners, shareholders, and landlords to be aware of these requirements and take the necessary steps to comply with the law in order to maintain a safe and healthy environment for their tenants and families. ( Lead Paint Inspections )
