California Health and Safety Code 17920.10 and federal RRP rule require lead-safe work practices in San Bernardino County pre-1978 housing renovations, with EPA-certified contractors and tenant notifications.
Lead-based paint regulations in San Bernardino County apply to residences built before 1978 under federal Environmental Protection Agency Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule and California Health and Safety Code 17920.10. Contractors performing renovation, repair, or painting disturbing more than 6 sq ft of painted surface per room interior or 20 sq ft exterior must be EPA-certified Renovation Firms employing certified renovators. Lead-safe work practices include containment with plastic sheeting, HEPA vacuum cleanup, prohibition on open-flame burning and high-temperature heat guns, and disposal as hazardous waste if contamination is confirmed. California Department of Public Health also enforces accreditation of lead abatement contractors and inspectors under Title 17 CCR 35000+. Landlords must provide the EPA pamphlet Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home and a lead disclosure form to tenants before signing leases for pre-1978 properties (42 USC 4852d). Sellers must provide similar disclosures and a 10-day opportunity to test. Children with elevated blood lead levels must be reported to San Bernardino County Public Health under Title 17 CCR 2500. County Code Enforcement can cite substandard conditions under Health and Safety Code 17920.10 if defective paint creates a lead hazard.
