NYS Rental Registry & Lead Compliance: Why Landlords Trust UNYSE

If you're a landlord or property manager in New York, you’ve probably heard of the NYS Rental Registry—and if you haven’t, you need to. Designed to ensure rental properties meet health and safety standards, it’s especially critical when it comes to lead-based paint hazards. Non-compliance doesn’t just risk fines; it jeopardizes your tenants’ health and your property’s reputation.

That’s why UNYSE has been the go-to partner for landlords and property owners across New York since 1994.

What is the NYS Rental Registry?

The NYS Rental Registry is a state initiative that helps track and enforce safe housing standards, including compliance with lead paint inspection requirements for rental properties.

Here’s why it matters:

Legal requirement: If you rent out a property built before 1978, you must comply with lead hazard rules.
Tenant protection: Lead exposure can cause serious health risks, especially in children.
Financial protection: Avoid penalties, lawsuits, and costly remediation later.

Why Lead Compliance is Non-Negotiable

Lead paint hazards are not a minor issue—they’re a public health priority. In fact:

Children exposed to lead are at risk for developmental delays.
Landlords can face hefty fines if they fail to comply.
The law requires proper lead inspection, monitoring, and clearance before leasing or renovating.

And this is where UNYSE comes in—our team doesn’t just test; we ensure your property meets every single City, State, and Federal requirement.
