NY state requires lead disclosure be provided to tenants and purchasers
of property.

Actually it is a Federal law for pre 1978 construction. Or at least an
EPA
regulation.

Any known hazards must be disclosed. If you have never tested the
property
you must disclose that. You must also give them a little pamphlet and
they
must sign off on all of the above.

Stupid little booklets cost 50 cents each.

Not such a bad idea. Young, first time homeowners can be pretty clueless.
Paint *does* turn into chips sometimes. Kids *do* sometimes nibble on
whatever they see. Why should the kids pay for their parents' ignorance?
