Types of Lead Paint Violations
Three types of HPD Lead Violation
Order 616: Presumed Lead Violation
This is given when an inspector observes a potential lead paint hazard(chipping, cracking paint) in a unit with a child under six, but is not in position of an XRF (X Ray Fluorescence) gun at the time of inspection and is therefore unable to confirm the presence of lead in the paint.
Order 617: Lead Paint Violation
This is when an inspector observes a potential lead hazard in a unit with a child under six and confirms the presence of lead paint with an XRF gun.
Order 618: Record Production Order Violation
Under Local Law 1 of 2004 building owners have to follow certain safe work practices and use specific certified professional when performing apartment turnover work or when disturbing in excess of two (2) square feet of point. HPD will often request records and logs demonstrating compliance with these work practices. This violation results from the owners failure to produce those records.
