In New York City, Local Law 55 (Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act) requires landlords in buildings built before 1960 to:

AReplace all windows in covered apartments every 10 years
BConduct annual inspections for lead-based paint hazards in apartments occupied by children under 6 years old and remediate identified hazards✓ Correct
CDisclose lead paint at each lease signing regardless of age
DTest all paint in common areas annually

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.
