A resident refuses to sign the acknowledgment form for receipt of the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet. What should the renovator do?
Answer: Note the refusal on the form and have a witness sign, then proceed with renovation
If a resident refuses to sign, the renovator must note the refusal on the form, have a witness sign, and can then proceed with the renovation.
Under the RRP Rule, a renovation is considered an 'emergency' renovation when:
Answer: It is immediately necessary to safeguard health and safety or prevent damage to property
Emergency renovations are those required immediately to protect health, safety, or property — not projects with owner-imposed time constraints.
What is the maximum allowable distance between occupant living areas and the renovation work area without requiring relocation assistance?
Answer: There is no specific distance requirement — the work area must simply be effectively contained
The RRP Rule does not mandate a specific distance; instead, effective containment must prevent dust migration to occupied areas.
Pet food and water bowls found in an interior lead renovation work area should be:
Answer: Removed or covered to prevent contamination before work begins
Pets can ingest lead dust from contaminated food or water, so bowls and bedding should be removed or covered before renovation begins.
When must the work area be available for re-occupancy by residents following lead renovation?
Answer: Only after cleaning verification has been successfully completed
Residents may only re-occupy the work area after the renovation firm has completed and passed the cleaning verification process.
What lead hazard information must be included in the pre-renovation notification for multi-family housing common areas?
Answer: The nature of the renovation, the dates, the firm's name and certification number, and advice to keep children away
Pre-renovation notice for common areas in multi-family housing must identify the renovation firm, project details, timing, and instruct residents to keep children away.
