Hi there. Can someone please explain briefly how the Lead Safe Certification in Cleveland is impacting landlords? I am finding plenty of information online about the program but nothing explaining how it is directly impacting buyers looking to buy and hold property in the city. I have seen a few scary things like "you need to dig up the entire front yard" in other groups but I'd like to hear from people that are actively investing in the city, and meeting the new standards, as to what their experience has been. TIA.
In short you hire a lead testing specialist. They'll swab different parts of the inside and outside, especially doors and wood windows. After, if the tests come back positive for lead, you'll need to get it remediated by scraping and re-painting.

IGNORE THE INTERNET!! I have had about 300 lead inspections. NOT a big deal, Scrap and paint the windows or better yet just replace them. As I have mentioned about 100x EVERYONE should stay off the internet, and just connect and learn from those actually doing it. I am literally having a lead inspection today on a duplex, it will pass. It's just a way for the city to collect more money, total scam. Hey, heres an idea, tell your kids ds to stop picking at the paint and eating it ,then screaming lead posing and try getting a pay day. Dig up the yard, let me guess and lead inspector posted that LOL, Total BS. Worse I have seen, dig up around the windows. All this can be avoided if you just paint the windows, and or replace them.
All the best

Its made into a big deal when in reality its nothing major. Just need to make sure you have the right people to do it right.

I've seen lead remediation costs under $1k and I've also seen them above $40k. Having said that, the bigger jobs would usually include vinyl siding an entire house or duplex as well as replacing all of the windows.
One thing to note, in the 100's of lead inspections and rehabs we've done in Cleveland, we've never seen or heard of anyone digging up a front yard. Now it's true that lead dust samples are taken from the ground, usually around windows, but putting top soil on top of the ground would be the route to go there.

Thank you James. When you are considering properties in the area, how do you assess in advance if there is going to be a major issue with the remediation if you are moving quickly to jump on a deal?

If you're looking in the Cleveland market, look for newer vinyl windows and vinyl siding. Also if the price of a property is low, there is a reason for it.
My neighbor just had their 110 year old house sanded entirely down to the wood. I was wondering why the neighborhood was running up and down the street in hysteria? If lawns have to be replaced, then the entire freeway system and adjoining green areas would have to be replaced. Lead was forever a gasoline additive. It's never too late I guess.

Hi James, do you have a company that is lead certified to do repairs and testing in Cleveland? I've been looking for someone for awhile now. Also does a house in Cleveland have to have its lead safe certificate to sell it ? Any help is appreciated. Thank you

You do not have to get a house lead certified to sell it. You do need to disclose the lead status when you sell it though. Yes we do 100's of lead certification jobs every year.

Hi so how many props did you pick up and how's it going ? The Led paint thing ( scam) is nothing, just do the reno properly
Even if you aren't renovating all that is required to pass a lead test is cleanliness. Run a Clorox wipe over the windowsills and mop the floor. It'll pass.
Of course in old properties you should always immediately address any chipping or peeling paint.

Not always, they go pretty deep on these. For example, they do soil tests around the house.
