EPA Pre-Renovation Education & Disclosure

Question 1

What is the title of the EPA-required pamphlet that must be distributed to residents before renovation work begins in pre-1978 housing?

Accepted Answer

Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers and Schools

Answer

The EPA requires distribution of the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet (or an EPA-approved equivalent) before renovation work begins in target housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978.

Question 2

For a planned renovation in tenant-occupied pre-1978 housing, at least how many days before work begins must the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet be provided to the owner and tenants?

Accepted Answer

60 days

Answer

Under 40 CFR 745.84, for planned renovations in tenant-occupied target housing, the pamphlet must be provided to the owner and each tenant at least 60 days before the renovation begins.

Question 3

Which type of residential property is subject to the EPA's pre-renovation education and disclosure requirements under the RRP Rule?

Accepted Answer

Target housing built before 1978

Answer

The RRP Rule applies to 'target housing,' defined as housing built before 1978, which is when the CPSC banned lead-based paint for residential use.

Question 4

In owner-occupied target housing, when must the renovator provide the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet to the owner?

Accepted Answer

Before the renovation begins

Answer

For owner-occupied target housing, the pamphlet must be provided to the owner before the renovation begins; there is no specific number of days required, unlike tenant-occupied properties.

Question 5

Which of the following is specifically EXCLUDED from the definition of 'target housing' under the EPA's RRP Rule?

Accepted Answer

Housing built for the elderly or persons with disabilities where no children under 6 reside

Answer

The RRP Rule explicitly excludes housing built for the elderly or disabled persons where no children under age 6 reside, since the primary concern is protecting young children from lead exposure.
