Lead paint regulations in Corona follow California Title 17 and federal EPA RRP rules. Renovations of pre-1978 homes disturbing more than 6 sq ft interior or 20 sq ft exterior of paint require certified Lead-Safe contractors and tenant/occupant notifications.
Lead-based paint was banned for residential use in 1978, but homes built before that date in Corona's older neighborhoods near Joy Street, Grand Boulevard, and the historic downtown likely contain lead paint. California Title 17 regulations administered by the Department of Public Health (Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch) and federal EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rules govern disturbance of lead paint. Renovations exceeding 6 square feet of interior painted surface or 20 square feet of exterior surface in pre-1978 housing must be performed by EPA-certified Renovation Firms using Lead-Safe Work Practices. Contractors must provide the EPA pamphlet 'Renovate Right' to occupants and owners before work begins. Lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments, and abatement work require state-certified professionals. Disposal of lead-contaminated materials must follow hazardous waste rules. Property owners with children under 6 living in older homes are encouraged to obtain blood lead screening and consider professional inspections. The Riverside County Department of Public Health offers free or low-cost screening and resources. Penalties for violating RRP rules can reach $37,500 per day per violation under federal authority.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Corona code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
