Homes in Livermore built before 1978 are presumed to contain lead-based paint. The federal EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule requires certified renovators and lead-safe work practices for any project disturbing more than 6 sq ft interior or 20 sq ft exterior of painted surface. California HSC §17920.10 designates lead hazards as substandard housing conditions enforceable by code officers. Sellers and landlords must provide the EPA 'Protect Your Family from Lead' pamphlet and disclose known lead hazards (federal 24 CFR Part 35).
