Pre-1978 buildings in Temecula are subject to federal RRP (40 CFR Part 745) and California Title 17 §35001+ lead-safe work practice rules. Disturbing more than 6 sq ft interior or 20 sq ft exterior of paint requires CDPH-certified lead-related construction supervisors and disclosure to occupants.
Lead-based paint regulation in Temecula follows federal and California state law. The federal Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule (40 CFR Part 745) requires that contractors performing work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities be EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firms with at least one Certified Renovator on each job. RRP work practices include containment, dust minimization, HEPA cleanup, and cleaning verification. California Title 17 (Public Health) §§35001-36100 imposes additional requirements: lead-related construction work disturbing more than 100 square feet of painted surface (or any amount in DOH-defined sensitive populations) must be performed by CDPH-certified personnel including Lead-Related Construction Inspector/Assessor, Project Designer, Supervisor, and Worker categories. The federal Disclosure Rule (24 CFR Part 35) requires sellers and landlords of pre-1978 properties to provide the EPA Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home pamphlet, disclose known lead, and include warning language in contracts and leases. Most of Temecula's housing was built after 1978, so RRP applies to a smaller subset (older Old Town structures and a few historic outliers); compliance still matters for pre-1978 commercial and historic buildings. Riverside County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program coordinates with state DPH on lead investigations triggered by elevated blood lead in children.
