We always like to keep our apartment and property owners updated with the latest requirements, guidelines and laws introduced by the EPA with respect to remodeling and renovating their properties.
2011 has been an active year for the EPA in introducing new requirements for apartment and property owners on how they must interact with their tenants with respect to apartment and property remodeling and renovations.
New EPA Requirements for Apartment Owners & Building Renovations
EPA now requires apartment owners to post signs where they will be seen BEFORE work starts and must provide the following info: Describe the renovation work location… type of work being done… dates of work start & completion… & “Renovate Right” brochures for tenants or how to get a free copy.
60 days before the work starts, the Renovator firm must provide copies of the “Renovate Right Brochure” to the building owner or the property manager. In addition, the owner or property manager must provide the Renovator with written acknowledgement that the “Renovate Right Brochure” has been received at least seven(7) days prior to the lead-based paint renovation work starting. And the tenant living in the apartment where the lead-based paint removal work is to be done must also be given a copy of the “Renovate Right” brochure.
The certification notice from the owner/property manager must include name of person receiving “Renovate Right Brochure” property address… unit number being work on… date… and method of delivery of “Renovate Right” brochure.
Apartment owners and property managers can contact Get The Lead Out® at 704-376-3594 or email peteh@gettheleadout.biz to find out more information about proper lead paint and asbestos testing for apartment buildings. We look forward to serving your unique needs!
