If multiple paint surfaces are found above 1.0 mg/cm2 during an inspection, what is the owner's obligation?

The owner's obligation to disclose the results of an inspection when multiple paint surfaces are found to have lead levels above 1.0 mg/cm² is based on regulatory requirements and the health implications associated with lead exposure.

When an inspection reveals lead-based paint concentrations above this threshold, it indicates a potential risk for lead poisoning, particularly in environments where children or pregnant women may be present. As part of ensuring safety and compliance with the law, property owners must disclose these findings to potential buyers, renters, and occupants. This transparency helps inform individuals of the risks associated with the property.

Disclosure allows those affected to make informed decisions regarding their living or working environments, such as taking necessary precautions or organizing remediation efforts. It is essential to prioritize health and safety by communicating the risks associated with lead exposure to all relevant parties.
