What We Typically Find on Asbestos & Lead Testing in East New York

Asbestos and lead testing in East New York addresses the pre-1978 housing-stock realities of 1900-1940 attached homes. Lead-paint findings cluster at original window casings (peeling lead deep in the channel where original sashes wore against the frame), pre-1960 painted exterior trim, original doorways, and pre-1950 painted plaster walls. Asbestos findings cluster at the 9×9 vinyl floor tile on basement floors (chrysotile binder), pipe-wrap insulation on basement boiler distribution lines (often friable when disturbed), aged boiler furnace cement and gaskets, and original duct mastic. We test paint via XRF and bulk-sample suspect asbestos materials for accredited-lab analysis. NYC Local Law 31 requires lead inspection in pre-1960 rental units with children under 6 — we can deliver a Local-Law-compliant report.
