Livonia follows federal RRP Rule and Michigan MCL 333.5471 for lead abatement, with mandatory disclosure on pre-1978 home sales and rentals and certified contractor requirements.
Federal law (Title X and the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule) requires certified firms for any work disturbing more than 6 square feet interior or 20 square feet exterior of painted surfaces in homes built before 1978. Michigan MCL 333.5471 et seq. and the Michigan Lead Abatement Program require state-certified workers for lead abatement projects and set notification, training, and inspection standards. Livonia rental inspections include a visual check for deteriorated paint, especially in units occupied by children under six, and can require remediation. Property sellers and landlords must provide the EPA Protect Your Family from Lead pamphlet and disclosure form. Livonia has many homes predating 1978 in the Rosedale Gardens and Newburgh neighborhoods, making compliance especially important. Cases of elevated child blood lead levels are reported to the Wayne County Health Department.
