Precise testing for
real-world decisions.
Handheld XRF testing assesses painted building components without removing paint. Incrementum NY holds EPA lead-based paint activities firm certification, and its lead inspector holds EPA inspector certification. We review the property and testing scope before confirming the job.
Apartment testing
Built around a clear base price for studios through three-bedroom apartments, with itemized additional rooms.
Common areas
Above-ground common-area stories are priced separately. Multiple staircases or unusual layouts receive a reviewed quote.
Documented results
Discuss the report format and intended use when you request service so the scope fits your compliance needs.
STRAIGHTFORWARD PRICING
Start with the
right scope.
Base apartment prices include the kitchen, living room, one bathroom, and up to four closets.
Additional spaces
$50 for each additional bedroom beyond three, bathroom beyond one, closet beyond four, or other room such as a den or office.
Common areas
$99 per above-ground story. Basement, roof, multiple staircases, and unusual spaces are reviewed in the final quote.
Buildings with 6+ apartments
$25 off each apartment. Every multiunit request receives a reviewed quote before a date or payment is confirmed.
For standard single-apartment inspections, a $100 deposit per apartment is requested after date approval and applied to the final total. The remaining balance is due before the visit. Travel outside the five NYC boroughs is quoted separately.
NYC REQUIREMENTS
Working with
Local Law 31?
For covered properties, the XRF inspection is the required testing step. HPD calls for an independent EPA-certified inspector or risk assessor to test apartments and common areas. Tell us the building year, unit count, and common-area layout so we can review the scope.

Common
questions.
Is the price shown online final?
The online calculator is an estimate. We review apartment counts, extra spaces, common areas, access, and location before sending a final quote. Multiunit buildings always receive a reviewed quote.
How long does an apartment inspection take?
Plan on roughly 45 minutes per typical apartment, plus access and travel time. Larger or complex scopes may take longer.
Can I choose a time online?
You can request preferred weekdays online. We confirm the appointment after checking availability and scope.
Do I need to test common areas too?
Yes, HPD includes common areas in covered buildings. We quote these separately from apartments; tell us about each story and any additional staircases. See the Local Law 31 inspection FAQs ↗
What happens if I need to change the date?
Contact us at least 24 hours before the appointment for a date change. Late cancellations can be rescheduled or the deposit returned; a true no-show forfeits the $100 deposit per apartment. Any remaining paid balance is refunded in that case.
