Westchester County enforces lead paint hazard rules through WCDOH inspections, NY Public Health Law screening mandates, and federal Renovation Repair and Painting Rule for pre-1978 properties.
Pre-1978 dwellings in Westchester County must comply with federal EPA Renovation Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule, requiring certified renovators for projects disturbing painted surfaces. NY Public Health Law Section 1370 mandates child blood lead screening at one and two years old. WCDOH investigates elevated blood lead cases and orders abatement of identified hazards. Landlords must disclose known lead hazards before lease signing under federal Title X. Westchester villages including Yonkers and Mount Vernon have additional rental inspection programs targeting lead hazards. Violations of orders to abate lead hazards trigger civil penalties.
Failure to abate identified lead hazards in rental property carries WCDOH penalties up to 2,000 dollars per violation and possible vacate orders for affected units.
