FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about lead dust wipe clearance testing in NYC.

A dust wipe clearance test (also called a clearance examination) involves collecting dust samples from floors, windowsills, and window wells using special wipes, then sending them to an accredited lab. The lab measures lead concentration in µg/ft². In NYC, clearance is passed when floors read below 5 µg/ft², windowsills below 40 µg/ft², and window wells below 100 µg/ft² (per Local Law 66 of 2019, effective June 2021).
Clearance testing is required: (1) after any renovation, repair, or painting work that disturbs lead-based paint in pre-1978 NYC properties; (2) after lead abatement or hazard reduction work; (3) to close an HPD lead paint violation under Local Law 1; (4) in HUD-assisted pre-1978 properties after qualifying work. If a child under 6 lives in the unit, the bar for required testing is very low — even minor disturbances require clearance.
No. EPA rules explicitly state that dust sampling technicians who performed the abatement work cannot perform post-abatement clearance on the same project. Clearance must be done by an independent, certified third party — like Huda Lead Inspections. This ensures the testing is impartial and legally valid.
To clear an HPD lead violation: (1) hire a licensed lead abatement contractor to remediate the hazard; (2) have an independent certified firm like Huda perform dust wipe clearance testing; (3) submit the passing clearance report to HPD for violation closeout. You typically have 21 days from the violation notice. We offer same-week scheduling and format our reports specifically for HPD submission.
The on-site sampling visit typically takes 30–60 minutes for a standard apartment or single-family room. Larger properties with multiple rooms take longer. Lab analysis takes 24–48 hours after samples are received. You'll have your certified report in your hands within 1–3 business days of the inspection visit.
XRF (X-ray fluorescence) testing detects lead in paint on surfaces using a specialized gun — it tells you whether lead-based paint is present. Dust wipe testing measures loose lead dust that has settled on surfaces — it confirms whether an area is safe to re-occupy after work was done. For post-renovation and HPD violation clearance, dust wipe testing is what's required. We specialize exclusively in dust wipe clearance testing.
Our dust wipe clearance testing starts from $225 for a standard residential unit. Pricing depends on the number of rooms tested, property type, and location. We provide a free, exact quote before scheduling — no surprises. Contact us at (929) 629-0529 or fill out the form above for a fast quote.
