Solicitation of Interest # C040086 - Lead Rental Registry

Description:

As part of the Governor’s initiative to eliminate childhood lead exposure in New York State, new legislation introduces a statewide rental registry program to identify and remediate lead hazards and increase the number of lead-safe rental units in high-risk areas across the State. New York State Public Health Law (PHL) §1377 requires that the Department of Health (DOH) develop a registry for all residential dwellings with two (2) or more units built prior to 1980, located in areas identified by the Department as Communities of Concern. The Lead Rental Registry Program will serve as a repository of these properties and their owners, mandate routine inspections for lead hazards and lead safety certification of properties and ensure prompt remediation of identified lead hazards.
