Sample lead
One lead in this division.
Each lead shows the apartment and where the hazard is, the class and the date in the record, the other paint conditions at the building, the contacts on file, and an opening line for the call.
“Unworked” is a record-matching signal, not confirmation that the owner is seeking bids or has not hired a contractor. How it is worked out.
What the records can and cannot tell you
- A violation records the hazard HPD found, not how many surfaces or apartments the full job will cover.
- Lead work has to follow lead-safe work rules; check the certification each job needs before you quote.
- Managing agents come from HPD registrations, which cover registered residential buildings only.
- Every lead is a prospecting opportunity from a public record, not a request from the owner. Check the city’s record by its number before you quote.
Which buildings get lead paint violations?
Mostly older apartment buildings, where the city’s lead paint law looks for hazards in apartments where a young child lives. The lead shows the year the building was built.
Why are lead paint leads ranked high?
HPD treats lead-based paint hazards as immediately hazardous, so the owner has a short time to correct them and the city follows up.
Which contact details do I get?
The owner of record with a confidence rating, the registered managing agent where there is one, a mailing address, and a phone number where the city’s records carry one. Some buildings have none on file; the lead says so.
Does a lead mean the owner wants bids?
No. Each lead is a public city record that points to work, not a request for quotes. The owner may already have a contractor; check the city’s record by its number before you quote.
