New York City, New York, March 12, 2025
Recently, the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) provided updates to its Lead Rental Registry. The information provided was in preparation for November 2025, which is when the regulations are expected to take effect.
The program is designed to support homeowners, tenants, and public housing residents. It will require property owners, health departments, and local governments in communities of concern to work together to identify housing-related lead hazards and remove the sources of lead. Communities of concern listed by NYSDOH include Albany, Amsterdam, Auburn, Binghamton, Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Elmira, Gloversville, Jamestown, Kingston, Middletown, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Newburgh, Niagara Falls, Poughkeepsie, Rochester, Rome, Schenectady, Spring Valley, Syracuse, Troy, Utica, Watertown, and Yonkers.
“The Lead Rental Registry requires that rental properties built before 1980, with two or more units, are inspected and documented as free of lead-based paint hazards before they can be issued a lead safety certification,” said Joe Frasca, Senior Vice President of Marketing at EMSL Analytical, Inc. “It will also require prompt cleanup and lead-safe repairs when hazards are identified. Properties will have to be certified every three years beginning this fall.”
