California Health and Safety Code §17920.10 and federal EPA regulations require lead paint disclosure, testing, and safe work practices in pre-1978 buildings. LA County Environmental Health enforces childhood lead poisoning prevention programs.
All residential buildings built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Federal law (EPA RRP Rule, 40 CFR Part 745) requires certified renovators for any work disturbing lead paint in pre-1978 housing. California Health and Safety Code §17920.10 declares lead hazards as substandard conditions. LA County's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) investigates elevated blood lead levels in children and orders environmental assessments of homes. Property sellers and landlords must disclose known lead hazards using EPA Form LBP-0001. Rental properties must provide the EPA pamphlet 'Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home' to tenants. LA County also receives HUD Lead Hazard Control grants for remediation assistance in qualifying homes in unincorporated areas.
Federal EPA violations carry fines up to $37,500 per day. State violations under HSC §17920.10 may result in code enforcement orders. Failure to disclose lead hazards carries civil liability for damages and treble damages in some cases.
