As 5G infrastructure continues to expand across urban areas like Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, rooftop antennas are becoming a common sight, even in residential neighborhoods. While these installations promise faster connectivity, they also raise legitimate concerns about radiofrequency (RF) radiation, long-term health effects, and home safety. That’s where electromagnetic field testing for rooftops becomes critical.

Whether you’re a property owner in Brooklyn or a tenant in Manhattan, understanding the risks associated with rooftop antennas and how 5G exposure testing or  EMF testing services can help is essential for peace of mind and legal protection.

Understanding the Risks of Rooftop 5G Installations

Unlike older 4G antennas, 5G small-cell units operate at much higher frequencies and can be placed significantly closer to residential spaces. These devices emit radiofrequency radiation, a type of non-ionizing electromagnetic field (EMF) that may contribute to electromagnetic interference, sleep disturbances, and other reported symptoms of EMF hypersensitivity.

In high-density areas like Queens or Brooklyn, where buildings are close together, antennas may be installed within just a few feet of occupied bedrooms or home offices. This makes 5G exposure testing in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and nearby boroughs a vital service for anyone living near such towers.

EMF Testing: Why Licensing and Legal Recognition Matter

There’s no shortage of self-proclaimed “experts” offering EMF testing services, but in New York City, most of those reports are not legally admissible.

Only a licensed EMF testing expert can deliver legally recognized inspection reports. These reports are more than just technical write-ups; they’re contractual documents that hold up in court and regulatory reviews.

Don’t rely on EMF certificates

Most EMF certifications come from unaccredited mills and carry no legal weight in NYC or NJ. Electra EMF’s reports are backed by state licensing, IBEW credentials, and years of real-world court-tested authority.
