Explanation
NYC Local Law 55 (as amended by Local Law 1 of 2004) requires landlords of pre-1960 buildings (and pre-1978 buildings where work was done that may disturb paint) to conduct annual inspections for lead-based paint hazards in apartments where children under age 6 reside, and to remediate identified hazards. This is stricter than federal lead paint disclosure requirements.
