    Note: If your property has pre-1940 wood double hung windows, it will likely FAIL a clearance exam. We no longer do these clearance exams unless an owner is willing to consider installing replacement windows.

Fees - Large MULTIFAMILY properties (21+ units):

  • Clearance exams and Risk assessments - multifamily 21+ units: Please call for the specific price based on the number of units in the property. The percentage of units that must be tested is significantly lower for large multifamily buildings (if all units are similar). However, these reports are much more comprehensive and as such the report preparation fee is $1,000 (and $1,500 for larger buildings). We charge $120 per unit tested plus the report preparation fee.

  • Lead inspection using an XRF analyzer: The number of units which must be tested is significantly less for buildings constructed in 1960-1977 than for buildings constructed pre-1960. Please call for the specific price based on the number of units in the property and the age of the property. We charge $120 per unit tested plus the report preparation fee.

Payment:

  • Payment (by check, PayPal or credit card) is due in full at the end of the appointment

Note: The written report (risk assessment or clearance exam) typically takes 4-5 business days to be delivered (by e-mail) due to laboratory turn-around time and the length of these reports. Multifamily reports typically take two weeks. The report must be retained permanently by the owner. Upon sale/leasing of the property, this report must be disclosed and provided to the buyer/tenant.

  • Failed clearance exam (after the visual examination only): $50 at the end of the appointment

  • Failed clearance exam report: Add $100

Cancellation Policy: All requests to change or cancel an appointment must be received at least 2 business days before the appointment date. If an appointment is missed, the $50 missed appointment fee must be paid prior to rescheduling. The definition of a missed appointment is, a) the client is more than 10 minutes late, and we have already left the site of the appointment, or b) an appointment is cancelled with less than a 2 business-days notice.
