Federal RRP Rule and California Department of Public Health regulations require certified lead-safe practices for renovation of pre-1978 Moorpark homes, with disclosure to buyers and tenants required at sale or lease.
Pre-1978 housing in older Moorpark neighborhoods may contain lead-based paint. Federal Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule under 40 CFR 745 and California Department of Public Health regulations require certified contractors and lead-safe work practices for paint disturbance in pre-1978 homes, child-occupied facilities, and rental units. Sellers and landlords must provide federal lead disclosure pamphlets at transaction. Moorpark Building and Safety verifies contractor certification on relevant permits. Violations can trigger federal EPA enforcement on top of local stop work orders.
Performing renovations on pre-1978 housing without RRP certification, skipping disclosure to tenants or buyers, or improper waste handling can result in EPA fines and CDPH enforcement.
