Local Law 31 Enforcement in 2025: What HPD Is Looking For
With the August 9, 2025 Local Law 31 deadline approaching, HPD is preparing for strict enforcement across all pre-1960 residential buildings. Inspectors will focus on verifying completed XRF lead-based paint inspections, proper tenant notifications, and accurate documentation of any required remediation work. Property owners who fail to meet these requirements—or cannot produce the necessary records—may face significant violations and penalties. This guide explains exactly what HPD will be looking for in 2025 and how owners can stay compliant.
