Hi Brandon,

Welcome to the forum! Save my contact info and when you find property you're interested in, PM me the address and I'll check the lead paint status for you in the state database. I can let you know if it's ever been inspected and what to look out for.

MA real estate laws say that you can't rent to a family with kids under 7 unless you have a lead certificate on file with the state and the anti-discrimination laws say you can't not rent to a family because they have a kid under 7 (even if it's because you know there's lead paint), so they basically made it so that any rental with more then 1 bedroom has to be deleaded. However, they also have loan programs and grants for deleading. There's actually a loan program with 0% interest that you don't have to pay until you sell the property, so basically, it won't cost you anything to delead, it comes out of the profit when you sell, so you just roll it into the sale price.

You can email me directly at the email in my signature or you can PM me on here.

Talk to you soon!

I hate to break it to you, but even without the address, I can tell you someone is lying to you. 43 unit 3 and 50-52 are the only buildings with deleaded units on Eleanor St besides the 21 condos at #55. (see chart below)

Since 43 is a 24 unit apartment building, I know that's not the one you're going to list.

If you're selling 50-52, then 2 units were deleaded in 1998. There were hazards found (which is good) and it was deleaded to the laws at that time. There were no PCADs (Post Compliance Assessment Determination) done, so there are probably hazards now and it will more than likely need to be touched up to protect the owner from potential liability, but you're in decent shape if it's 50-52.

If it's not 50-52, then the current owner is mistaken, there's nothing else deleaded on Eleanor besides these 3 buildings.

Whats the address?

Russell, what's the address, I'll check the lead paint status for you.
