New York’s pre-1978 housing stock means most renovation, repair, and painting firms operating here are subject to the EPA’s RRP Rule. New York is EPA-administered, so firm certification is granted by the U.S. EPA and recognized throughout New York.
We file the New York firm certification for $429 all in and return a five-year certificate plus your Lead-Safe Certified Firm logo. The $300 portion is the government fee, paid directly to the EPA at filing, never marked up.
We file for New York contractors statewide, including New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany.
We also file in all EPA-administered states. Read the full guide →

Valid 5 years. We send a renewal reminder before it lapses.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issues it. New York is EPA-administered, so there is no separate New York state program; the application goes through EPA's CDX system.
Any firm paid to disturb more than six square feet of interior paint, or more than twenty square feet of exterior paint, in New York housing or child-occupied facilities built before 1978, including crews working from New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany. That covers general contractors, painters, plumbers, electricians, HVAC and window companies, and property managers.
Processing time is set by U.S. EPA; not guaranteed. We track your New York application to issuance and email your certificate plus your Lead-Safe Certified Firm logo.
A firm certification is issued per program, so crews that cross a state line into a state-run program need that state’s credential too. See the fee for every state we file → · EPA Lead-Safe certification guide →
