Partnering with Philadelphia Property Managers for Compliance, Safety & Peace of Mind
Synertech Environmental helps property managers and owners in Philadelphia ensure that their portfolios are safe, compliant, and ready for occupancy so you can focus on leasing, operations and tenant satisfaction.
Managing rental properties in the City of Philadelphia comes with evolving regulatory responsibilities. From lead-paint certifications to mold, indoor-air quality and building-maintenance requirements, you need a partner who knows the local code, timelines and best practices.
Our Services for Property Managers in Philadelphia
1. Pre-occupancy and periodic walkthroughs
Site visits to inspect mechanical systems, ventilation, water intrusion and visible hazards.
Dust/lead paint risk assessment sampling, where required.
Mold/moisture visual inspections and identification of potential risk zones (basements, plumbing hubs, window sills).
Indoor air quality (IAQ) screening (when requested) to support tenant satisfaction and risk mitigation.
2. Compliance auditing & reporting
Lead certification: under the Philadelphia Lead Paint Disclosure & Certification Law, all residential rental properties built before 1978 must be certified “lead-safe” or “lead-free” in order to execute a new or renewed lease or renew a rental license.
Property-maintenance code compliance: we reference the Philadelphia Property Maintenance Code to identify issues such as deteriorated paint, plumbing leaks or other hazards that may trigger city action.
Mold risk: while Pennsylvania currently lacks a dedicated statewide mold-remediation statute, the implied warranty of habitability applies and health-related concerns (water intrusion, microbial growth) may lead to tenant complaints or liability.
3. Remediation planning & ongoing monitoring
Once issues are identified (e.g., deteriorating paint, lead dust, visible moisture intrusion), we help develop a remediation plan including certified contractors, abatement strategies, and follow-up testing to confirm compliance.
For indoor air quality or moisture‐related concerns, we set up monitoring schedules and retesting protocols.
We supply certificate renewals, sample-report archives and compliance tracking so you’re audit-ready and lease-ready.
How Synertech Works With You
Initial portfolio review: we assess your properties for key risk areas (construction date, known issues, previous certifications).
Walkthrough & sampling: onsite visit to inspect units, sample as needed, produce immediate feedback and risk-level flagging.
Report & action plan: we deliver a clear report summarizing findings, prioritized recommendations, and estimated timeline/cost.
Implementation support: we coordinate with your preferred vendors (or recommend vetted contractors), guide remediation tasks, verify completion and collect or submit required certificates.
Benefits for Property Managers
For Philadelphia property managers, partnering with Synertech Environmental means reducing risk, improving tenant satisfaction, and keeping every property inspection-ready. Our comprehensive approach helps you stay compliant with city codes and health regulations, minimizing the risk of costly violations or tenant complaints. By identifying environmental hazards before they escalate, we help you maintain safe, habitable units that meet the city’s strict requirements for lead safety, moisture control, and structural maintenance.
Our clear reports and straightforward recommendations make it easy to plan repairs, document compliance, and respond quickly to Department of Licenses and Inspections inquiries. The result is smoother operations, fewer emergencies, and happier tenants, all backed by a reliable partner who understands how to keep your buildings compliant and your residents protected.
Philadelphia Rules & Deadlines to Know
Under the Lead Paint Disclosure & Certification Law, owners of pre-1978 properties must provide a lead-safe or lead-free certificate to any new tenant or for lease renewal in the designated zip-codes.
Starting October 1, 2020, in the first phase of zip codes, all rental properties built before 1978 must be certified regardless of whether children live in the unit.
Tenants or the city may report structural/maintenance violations via the Department of Licenses & Inspections. Code violations need resolving promptly to avoid escalation.
Although Pennsylvania lacks a mold‐specific statute, unresolved water intrusion or microbial growth can be treated as a habitability defect under the implied warranty.
