Has anyone had to deal with lead paint on the back exterior of your brownstone? If so – did you elect to remove or encapsulate? Any recommendations for reasonable abatement companies?

  1. Encapsulate it! It’s outdoors!! Try Paulo Nizovitine @ 917-860-5441.
    By the way, lead plumbing does not pose a danger if it’s not disturbed. Most of the water mains coming into NYC homes are still lead. More children get lead poisoning from handling brass keys (they contain up to 25% lead).
    See, and everyone thought that lead was just in paint!

  2. Encapsulating the lead will be cheaper and will last you for about 2 to 4 years depending. removing it is always the best solution because you no longer have to worry about it. I know of someone located in Park Slope the company is called Azarocon Lead Co. Inc and he works from his home in Park Slope, Very reasonable prices, as you may know by now lead removal can be very costly and if you have small children it can be dangerous.
    His phone number is 347-203-6128 and his name is Woody. If you call tell him I recommended you. If you have any further questions please feel free to e-mail me back and I wish you luck, I know how daunting that can be, I had lead piping through out my house.
