Hennepin County enforces Minnesota Statutes 144.9501 to 144.9512 governing lead hazards in pre-1978 housing. Hennepin County Public Health performs lead inspections, mandates abatement, and runs grant programs for low-income owners and renters.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144.9501 require lead-paint disclosure and abatement protocols for housing built before 1978. Hennepin County Public Health is the designated lead authority, responding to elevated blood lead reports from clinics and HCMC, conducting environmental lead investigations in homes and child-care centers, and ordering hazard reduction by property owners. Renovation, repair, and painting work disturbing more than six square feet of interior or 20 square feet of exterior lead paint must be performed by an EPA RRP-certified contractor. The Minneapolis Lead Hazard Control program and county Lead Hazard Reduction grants help low-income residents pay for abatement.
Failure to comply with a Hennepin County abatement order, hiring uncertified RRP contractors, or skipping lead disclosure on a sale or lease can result in MDH fines exceeding 10,000 dollars and federal HUD penalties.
