Hartford follows CT §19a-111 and Public Act 23-6 lead-poisoning prevention rules, requiring abatement of lead hazards in pre-1978 housing where children under six reside and disclosure during sales and rentals.
CT §19a-111 mandates that landlords and homeowners abate lead hazards in pre-1978 dwellings when a child under six tests with elevated blood lead. Public Act 23-6, fully phased in by 2026, lowered the action threshold to 3.5 micrograms per deciliter. Hartford Department of Health inspects on referral and orders abatement by CT-licensed lead contractors. CT §47a-7a obligates landlords to disclose known lead hazards in leases. Renovations disturbing painted surfaces in pre-1978 housing require EPA RRP-certified contractors. Hartford Public Schools coordinate childhood blood-lead screening through CT mandatory reporting under §19a-111g.
Mandatory abatement orders, fines up to $1,000 per day, lease termination rights for tenants, civil liability for child injury, and license suspension for renovators.
