2026: A Year of Stricter Environmental Compliance
New York is preparing to enforce stronger environmental health regulations in 2026 affecting residential landlords, builders, and property managers.
From asbestos removal requirements to lead safety inspections, every property owner will need to meet higher standards for indoor environmental quality.
If your property still contains asbestos, lead paint, or untreated mold, now is the time to act.
Here’s how Qualteck Corp can help you stay compliant before these new laws take effect.
1. Understanding the New Environmental Standards
The 2026 updates to New York’s environmental health code will include:
- Mandatory asbestos surveys before all renovations and demolitions
- Certified mold remediation documentation for insurance and sales
- Stricter EPA enforcement for lead testing and removal in pre-1978 homes
- New reporting requirements for commercial facility disinfection and air quality
These changes mean all property owners — residential and commercial — must work with certified professionals for testing, abatement, and reporting.
2. Schedule Asbestos Inspection and Removal Early
Asbestos remains one of the top compliance concerns.
If you’re planning a renovation or demolition in 2026, a pre-demolition asbestos survey is required by law.
Qualteck Corp’s asbestos removal services include testing, abatement, and full documentation to meet NYSDOL and EPA standards.
Don’t wait until last minute permit deadlines — schedule your inspection early to avoid project delays.
3. Mold Remediation & Air Quality Reporting
Mold isn’t just a health hazard — it’s now a compliance issue.
Under new guidelines, certified documentation from a licensed mold remediation company will be required for property transactions and public housing inspections.
Our team provides digital remediation reports and humidity control solutions to help you maintain a healthy, regulation-compliant environment.
4. Lead Paint Testing & EPA Violation Removal
If your property was built before 1978, you’ll need to confirm it’s free of lead-based paint or submit proof of safe removal.
Qualteck Corp offers EPA lead violation removal services and residential lead paint removal that fully meet 2026 federal standards.
We also handle clearance testing, certification, and follow-up reports for landlords and schools.
5. Commercial Facility Disinfection & Industrial Sanitization
Workplaces, hospitals, and industrial buildings will face tighter air quality and sanitization requirements.
Our commercial property deep disinfection services and industrial facility environmental sanitization programs are designed to help you meet and document compliance efficiently.
6. Documentation & Legal Proof of Compliance
By 2026, New York will require verified reports for all environmental remediation work.
This means you’ll need paper trails from certified professionals — including asbestos clearance, mold remediation, and lead abatement proof.
Every project completed by Qualteck Corp includes official clearance documentation recognized by both EPA and NYS regulators.
