Boise enforces federal lead-paint rules through Idaho's adopted building code, with EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting program governing pre-1978 home work, mandatory seller and landlord disclosure under federal Title X, and child blood-lead screening through Central District Health for at-risk Boise neighborhoods.
Federal Title X, 42 USC §4852d, requires lead-paint disclosures for housing built before 1978, including the EPA pamphlet, known hazard information, and an attached disclosure form. EPA's RRP Rule requires certified renovators for paint disturbance over six square feet interior or twenty exterior in pre-1978 homes. Idaho DEQ administers the program with EPA oversight. Boise's older North End and East End neighborhoods include many pre-1978 homes with potential lead-paint hazards. Central District Health offers child blood-lead testing and case management. Building permits flag pre-1978 properties so contractors apply RRP-certified procedures and proper containment.
Federal RRP violations carry civil penalties up to $40,000 per violation; disclosure failures expose sellers and landlords to triple-damages liability under Title X.
