  • Lead-based paint was commonly used on interior and exterior surfaces, including walls, windows, doors, trim, and other architectural elements.
  • Many older buildings in NYC, particularly those constructed before 1960, are likely to have lead-based paint.

Awareness of Lead Hazards

  • In the 20th century, the detrimental health effects of lead exposure, especially on children’s development, became increasingly recognized.
  • Studies showed the link between lead-based paint and lead poisoning, leading to heightened awareness of the hazards associated with lead paint.
