Bronx Lead Notices Are a Small-Landlord Check

Lead paint rules are a calm but serious Bronx ownership check. HPD’s lead page groups annual notice, recordkeeping, safe work, turnover, exemption, violation, and required testing guidance in one place. Owners use the annual notice to know which apartments have a child under six. A child-under-six unit is one where a child under six routinely spends 10 or more hours per week.

A small landlord should keep the notice delivery proof, tenant responses, investigation notes, and repair records together before any audit, violation, refinancing, or sale question comes up.

Handled early, this is more like a paper-trail check than a warning sign.

Keep the Bronx building address, annual lead notice, date, and any HPD number in the landlord file. Use NYC HPD’s Lead-Based Paint route for the requirement or record in question, and save HPD’s answer with the notice.
