Lead Paint Certification

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring as of April 2010 for contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects to be certified on lead-based paint to work on pre-1978 homes.

Property owners must, before beginning work, provide tenants with a copy of EPA's lead hazard information pamphlet . Property owners who perform these projects on their own in pre-1975=8 rental housing must be certified as well.

The EPA started processing applications on October 22, 2009.

If you don’t get certified you could get fined up to $37,500 per DAY and you’ll likely get sued
