California Code of Regulations Title 17 and federal Title X mandate lead hazard disclosure on pre-1978 rentals, while LA County DPH runs the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program with mandatory case reporting and abatement.
Federal 24 CFR Part 35 and 40 CFR Part 745 require landlords of pre-1978 rentals to deliver the EPA pamphlet, disclose known lead-based paint, and use certified lead-safe contractors. California Code of Regulations Title 17 sections 35001 through 36100 set the state framework. The LA County Department of Public Health Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program receives mandatory blood lead level reports from labs at 3.5 micrograms per deciliter or higher. DPH performs environmental investigations of homes where children test elevated, issuing abatement orders to landlords. The Department of Public Works enforces Title 26 lead remediation rules. The program operates countywide including all 88 cities, not just unincorporated areas.
Failing to disclose lead, using uncertified renovators on pre-1978 rentals, or refusing DPH abatement orders triggers federal civil penalties up to 19,500 dollars per violation, county nuisance abatement, and tenant private right of action.
