Our mission is to strategically reduce and eliminate childhood lead poisoning in the city by providing
lead testing and increasing awareness via public education, targeted community outreach, and
preventive action seminars, workshops, & literature to reduce exposure.
We seek to promote state and local lead poisoning prevention strategies to detect and help reduce environmental lead hazards. Our goal is to advocate for services for children affected by lead exposure
On October 1, 2020, the City of Philadelphia enforced a Rental Property and Lead Certification Law, that now requires landlords to conduct lead dust testing and certify rental properties as lead safe or lead free in order to A) execute a new or renewed lease or B) receive or renew a rental license. The requirement applies to all residential properties built before 1978.
Beginning January 1, 2022, lead paint inspections (for buildings built before 1978) will be required for all rental properties, child day-care centers, condemned buildings, and for property transfers.
The ordinance requires rental property owners and child care facilities on older properties to test for lead paint hazards and certify that their properties are lead safe. In addition, when residents sell their older properties, they will also need to get their home tested for lead.
A certified lead dust sampling technician will visually check the condition of the paint inside the residence to determine the property is free of deteriorated, flaking, chipping, peeling, chalking or paint that is not intact.
The technician will take dust wipe samples from every bedroom (1 window sill and floor) and one living area (living room, dining room, etc.)
The samples are analyzed by an EPA certified testing facility to determine whether the sample contains hazardous levels of lead-contaminated dust.
Client receives results from inspection. Results are available within 7 days, but may be expedited upon request
