Showing ordinances that apply to Fairview, CA
Fairview is an unincorporated community (population 11,341) in Alameda County, California. Because Fairview is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Alameda County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The lead paint rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Alameda County enforces California H&S Code 17920.10 treating deteriorated lead paint in pre-1978 housing as substandard. Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda have old housing stocks with strict abatement rules.
Lead paint is a major public health issue in Alameda County given that most housing in Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, and older Hayward neighborhoods predates the 1978 federal lead paint ban. California Health and Safety Code 17920.10 declares deteriorated lead-based paint a substandard housing condition subject to code enforcement. Property owners must disclose known lead hazards under federal 24 CFR Part 35 and California law before sale or lease. Renovation, repair, and painting on pre-1978 housing must be performed by EPA RRP-certified contractors using lead-safe work practices. The Alameda County Healthy Homes Department provides free lead inspections for eligible families and runs lead abatement grants. Children under 6 receive mandatory blood lead screening per California law. Landlords who fail to address lead hazards face habitability claims and rent withholding.
