Renters make up about 67% of households in New York, so landlords often face the question of residue after a tenant leaves. Homes in New York were built in different eras, and about 79% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.

A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:

  • Cleaning or replacing parts of the heating and cooling system and its ducts
  • Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
  • Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps
  • Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
  • Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue

What Cypress Hills Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup

Can furniture and belongings be saved?

Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.

Does the heating and cooling system need cleaning?

Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.

What is the law for meth cleanup in New York?

Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.

Who should I contact first?

If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.

Can children and pets stay in the home during cleanup?
