Lead Paint Rule Change as of April 22nd - Are You Ready???
« on: March 23, 2010, 11:53:09 PM »
Lead-based Paint RulesTake Effect April 22


As of April 22, 2010, contractors cannot disturb painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes or child care facilities unless (1) the firm is certified by the EPA or a state and (2) the renovator has completed training and is a certified renovator. The requirements under the rule apply to maintenance, renovation or repair activities where six square feet or more of a painted surface is disturbed inside, or where 20 square feet or more of painted surface (about the size of a door) is disturbed on the exterior. Window replacement is also covered by the rule. The only exceptions are where paint is proved lead free or the job is smaller than six square feet.

My advice, get your coops / condos finally tested and make sure you patch and repair any jobs you can within the next few week - If You have peeling and chipping paint  fix it NOW!!
