Lead paint certification
Thoughts on lead paint inspection in the City of Cleveland on properties built before 1978.
thank you
Most Popular Reply

In Cleveland, properties built before 1978 are subject to lead paint regulations, as the use of lead-based paint was banned in 1978. Landlords must ensure that their rental properties are lead-safe, especially when children under 6 years old are present. You’ll need to obtain a lead-safe certification for your property, which involves conducting a lead inspection and remediation (if necessary). The certification process may include an inspection by a licensed lead risk assessor.
For more specific guidance and to ensure compliance with local regulations, you may want to contact the City of Cleveland’s Department of Health or a lead-certified professional in your area.
