Local Law 111 of 2023 in New York City requires X-ray fluorescence (XRF) testing for lead-based paint in common areas of residential buildings built before 1960, with inspections to be completed by August 2025.
This law mandates the use of a non-destructive method employing a handheld XRF analyzer to detect lead-based paint, even if it's beneath other layers of paint.
