I’m looking to clean up my apartment after some construction was done. Building is from the 1920s and likely there’s lead dust contamination here (owner played shenanigans with a ‘bogus’ lead test pre-construction). There is no doubt lead dust and the owner isn’t going to deal with it (no kids or pregnant women here). I cannot afford to hire a professional cleaning service, but I would like to rent a HEPA vacuum that is approved for lead dust. I’m going to try to follow EPA guidelines, wipe down all surfaces with cleaner, vacuum from ceilings towards floors, then mop floors with three bucket system.

Where do I rent a HEPA vac in Brooklyn (I’m in Clinton Hill)?
