Bit of a setback with lead paint testing

[Matthew Paul]

I have a nice little 2 bedroom , all done new paint etc ,all that was left was the lead paint certificate . Now this house is on 4 acres , an old farmette . The inspector starts walking to the old buildings and tells me ALL the chipping paint has to be addressed . I tell him , the house is for rent , they dont get the buildings . He says it doesnt matter , if it were on 1000 acres and a shed on at the farthest point had flaking paint it has to be painted . Then he tells me the flip side , I could have a perfect house pass , within 2 feet of an abandoned house with paint chips falling off on a common sidewalk .
