Reinspections

Once deleading work is performed on a property, the next step is a Reinspection by a licensed inspector.

What is it?

During a Reinspection, a Lead Inspector reviews the quality of the deleader’s work and the cleanliness of the property. Visible dust is unacceptable and must all be cleaned up.

If all the lead hazards identified during the Initial Inspection have been addressed, dust wipes are taken. The number of wipes depends on the type of work, its location and the size of the property. The wipes are analyzed by a laboratory. If they pass, the property is issued a Letter of Full Deleading Compliance. If they fail, the property must be recleaned and additional wipes taken.

What if not all the deleading work is done?

An inspector can perform a Reoccupancy Reinspection once all the deleading inside a unit is done. For rental properties, once the Reoccupancy Reinspection passes its dust wipes, residents can move back into the unit and it is issued a Letter of Lead Paint Reoccupancy.

This lets work in common areas or on the exterior happen at a different time from interior unit work, which can help break up a job and its costs.

How long does it take?

It depends on the extent of the work performed. A typical Reinspection takes about 1 hour.
