Has Cleveland initiated a new lead based paint certification?

Good evening,
I'm an investor out of state, the owner of a single family home in Cleveland.

My property manager told me that the city of Cleveland has initiated a new lead based paint certification, moreover this certification will be mandatory every 2 yearsIs this true?

The property management company has developed a plan to meet this requirement:

a) cleaning all windows troughs and sills, scraping and painting of window troughs and sills

b) scraping and painting of all previously painted floor surface that is chipping or peeling

c) scraping and painting of any exterior paint that is chipping or peeling including garage decks and house 

d) scraping and painting of all exterior door thresholds and jams

Their estimated to complete this pre-inspection repair work is $500.

The certification inspection is $350

City filing fee $50

Property management coordination fee $50

I need to know if this certification is mandatory or not, maybe Cleveland realtor and property manager on Biggerpockets could answer me and clarify my doubts.

Let me know please

Thank you very much

If a Landlord hires a contractor and certifies the home is free of lead paint, they still have to do it again every two years?
