Keep Your Quincy Property Lead-Safe and Law Compliant
Known as the “City of Presidents,” Quincy is home to beautiful historic neighborhoods, coastal homes, and diverse multi-family housing.

Quincy Spotlight: Local Lead Risks
Quincy’s neighborhoods, like Wollaston, Quincy Point, North Quincy, and Merrymount, are filled with older homes, triple-deckers, and historic properties that may retain original woodwork, windows, and painted finishes containing lead beneath newer updates.
Frequent renovations and a competitive rental market in Quincy mean older surfaces are often disturbed, potentially releasing lead dust. A licensed lead inspection is critical for families with young children, landlords preparing properties for tenants, or buyers entering Quincy’s dynamic housing market.
