Colorado Springs, CO Building Safety: Lead Paint (2026)

G sits inside the Housing Code's broader Maintenance section, which requires every foundation, floor, wall, ceiling, roof, window, exterior door and basement hatchway to stay "reasonably weathertight, watertight and rodent resistant" and in sound, sanitary repair. Subsection G adds a specific rule for deteriorating paint: residential dwellings with "extreme deteriorated surfaces, including peeling, flaking and chipping paint," must have those surfaces removed, repaired or repainted, and all siding and masonry joints, windows and doors kept weathertight. " That reporting duty is triggered by the physical condition of the paint, not by a sale or lease transaction, it is a property-maintenance obligation enforced by the City's Housing Code Administrator, not a point-of-lease or point-of-sale disclosure form like the federal 1978 lead-paint disclosure rule.

101 names as provisions the Code Enforcement Administrator is directed to enforce "to the fullest extent" as serious life-safety standards, Subsection G is not on that priority list, but it remains fully enforceable through the same Article 5 abatement machinery that covers the rest of the Housing Code.
