EPA Publishes Final Lead-Based Paint Renovation Regulation--Read The IREM Summary
Source: www.irem.org/publicpolicy
The Environmental Protection Agency published the long-awaited final lead-based paint renovation regulations recently. These final regulations establish rules to govern lead-based paint renovation, repair, and painting activities that create lead hazards in single and multi-family housing constructed prior to 1978. Property owners, property managers and contractors are now required to follow a variety of notification, work safety and notification procedures before, during and after renovation activities to prevent the creation of lead-based paint hazards. These new rules will primarily impact a property management portfolio, as well as property managers/owners of multi-family properties.

I agree with you Meagan. Regulations are necessary and revisiting them from time to time reinforces what needs to be done.
In the last six months a number of our employees attended trainings based on the new EPA Lead Based Paint Renovation Regulation. Our staff returned with more information than they knew previously. More notice is required by the management companies, as well as vendors performing the work.
I believe that any new regulations regarding lead based paint or other substances carry this are a very good thing. This can be very dangerous, especially if information was not properly divulged to the residence. It might add a few more steps to the way that companies do things, but it would be much safer in the long run.
