Verified from official government sources
Lead Paint
Lead-paint disclosure and abatement in Peoria are primarily governed by the Illinois Lead Poisoning Prevention Act (410 ILCS 45/) and federal law (42 U.S.C. 4852d, 24 CFR Part 35, 40 CFR Part 745). Owners of residential buildings built before 1978 must give prospective tenants and buyers the EPA/HUD lead-hazard information pamphlet, disclose any known lead hazards, and provide written notice if a mitigation notice has been issued. Peoria's Property Maintenance Code (Peoria Code Ch. 5, Art. VI, 2018 IPMC) prohibits deteriorated lead paint as a property maintenance violation. The Peoria City/County Health Department investigates elevated blood-lead cases in children.

Pest Control
Pest control and rodent abatement in Peoria are enforced under Peoria Code Section 13-3 (Property Maintenance) and the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code adopted under Peoria Code Chapter 5, Article VI. Property owners must keep premises free from rodent harborage and infestation; the Peoria Code Enforcement Division gives owners 5 days from a Notice of Violation to remove environmental conditions (litter, debris, food sources) that attract rats. The City operates a free Rat Abatement Program that contracts an exterminator to bait around the property after environmental violations are corrected.

Some RestrictionsFire Sprinkler Requirements
Illinois does not mandate fire sprinklers in new one- and two-family homes — the residential sprinkler provision in the International Residential Code (IRC R313) was struck from the Illinois state-adopted IRC as a state amendment. Peoria does not impose a local mandate for one- and two-family homes either. For commercial, multifamily, and assembly occupancies, Peoria adopts the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and 2018 International Fire Code (IFC) under Peoria Code Chapter 5, Article III, which require NFPA 13/13R sprinkler systems based on occupancy classification, building height, area, and life-safety factors.
