Homes built before 1978 in Universal City are subject to federal EPA RRP lead-paint rules; contractors disturbing painted surfaces must be certified.
Universal City follows federal lead-based paint rules administered by the U.S. EPA. The Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule under 40 CFR Part 745 requires that contractors performing renovation, repair, or painting that disturbs more than 6 square feet of interior painted surface (or 20 square feet of exterior) in housing built before 1978 or in child-occupied facilities be EPA lead-safe certified, follow lead-safe work practices, and provide the EPA Renovate Right pamphlet to owners and occupants before work starts. Sellers and landlords of pre-1978 housing must also comply with the federal Lead Disclosure Rule under 42 USC 4852d, providing a pamphlet, disclosure form, and a 10-day inspection opportunity to buyers.
