A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to records of lead-based paint investigations

Summary

This bill would require property owners to produce records for the immediately previous year, including the annual notice, and, where appropriate, investigations conducted by such owner, including x-ray fluorescence analysis after August 1, 2025, whenever a violation for lead-based paint hazards has been issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”). This bill would establish a process for building owners to correct violations for the keeping or producing of records for 10 years. When a building owner receives a violation for record keeping, they can correct the violation by submitting a violation dismissal request form with the required 10 years of records. Alternatively, the owner may submit a violation dismissal request form with documentation demonstrating the owner’s record keeping for at least 3 consecutive years and, upon the HPD finding this documentation sufficient, the owner must pay $1,000 for each year for which the documentation is not submitted.
