California Code of Regulations Title 17 §17920.10 defines lead hazards as substandard housing. Santa Clara County Public Health's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program coordinates blood-lead screening, source identification, and abatement orders for lead-impacted homes.
Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations §17920.10 declares deteriorated lead-based paint and bare lead-contaminated soil to be substandard housing conditions. Santa Clara County Public Health Department runs the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP), funded through state CLPPP allocations under Health and Safety Code §105275. Children with venous blood-lead levels of 3.5 µg/dL or higher trigger a public health investigation, including environmental testing of the residence, lead source identification, and an abatement order issued jointly with Code Enforcement. Property owners receive specific remediation deadlines, typically 30 to 90 days, with EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule certified contractors required for any disturbance of pre-1978 paint.
Failure to abate confirmed lead hazards within the public health timeline triggers misdemeanor charges, civil penalties up to $1,000 per day per Title 17, and potential receivership under SCC Title C for habitability violations.
