Landlord responsibilities

Repair lead hazards


Landlords are required to conduct lead testing in Philadelphia and obtain lead safe certification for rental properties, ensuring they are lead-safe or lead-free, regardless of a child’s age. This is necessary to:


- Execute a new or renewed lease or

- Receive or renew a rental license.


Learn more about this regulation.


If the Department of Public Health conducts a lead test and identifies a lead hazard in the home, the landlord must hire an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified firm to address it. These companies employ certified renovators trained by EPA-approved training providers, adhering to lead-safe work practices. Additionally, lead dust wipe testing may be part of the inspection process. If the lead hazards in the property are not repaired, the landlord or homeowner could be referred to Lead Court.

What Is a Philadelphia Lead Safe Certificate?


A Philadelphia Lead Safe Certificate documents that a rental property has met the applicable requirements for Lead Safe status at the time of inspection.

The process includes a visual inspection for deteriorated paint and collection of lead dust wipe samples from required areas of the property. The samples are analyzed by an accredited laboratory to determine whether lead dust levels meet the applicable standards.

Hellas Environmental Testing performs professional dust wipe sampling and provides the laboratory results and documentation needed for the Philadelphia Lead Safe certification process.

How do I submit the results to the Public Health Department?


Online Filing through the City’s Lead Certification Submission System, a database that allows you to upload, manage, and view lead certifications.
