Home & Landlord Inspections
|
Here are some suggestions to help prepare for a lead inspection:
|
| Many homes built before 1978 have lead paint, and some of these have lead hazards. To protect your family, it is recommended that you get a lead-based inspection and/or risk assessment. |
| |
| |
| • Make sure that no painted surfaces are chipping or flaking. Painted surfaces should all be intact. |
| |
| • Remove all construction-related debris from the site. |
| |
| • Ensure that the area 24”- 48” surrounding the foundation is clear of paint chips. |
| |
| • Thoroughly vacuum the interior of each assisted rental unit, ideally with a HEPA (see below) vacuum. |
| |
| • After vacuuming, clean all surfaces in the unit with standard household detergent, e.g., Palmolive or Simple Green. Change the wash water frequently to reduce the chance of cross-contamination. |
| |
| • Pay special attention to window sills, door casings, and flooring. |
| |
| • After wet cleaning, vacuum the entire area again using a HEPA or high quality vacuum cleaner. |
| |
| • Visually inspect the unit and the soil outside the unit to ensure that all areas are free of debris and dust. |
