Detroit — Ch. 8 Art. XV Div. 3 Requirements for Rental Property (Registration + Lead) § 8-15-83

(a) Initial lead inspection/risk assessment required upon rental registration. An owner shall have a lead inspection/risk assessment performed on any property built prior to 1978 in accordance with Subdivision B of this division the first time such property is registered as a rental property in accordance with Section 8-15-81 of this Code. If the lead inspection/risk assessment reveals a lead-based paint hazard, such hazard shall be addressed by interim control, abatement, or a combination of the two as identified in Subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this section. If neither lead paint nor lead hazards are identified in the lead inspection/risk assessment, no further compliance action shall be required.
(b) Risk assessment after interim controls. Where interim controls were used to reduce lead-based paint hazards in a rental property as prescribed in Subdivision B of this division, or where a lead inspection reveals the presence of lead paint on the rental property, the owner shall have a risk assessment performed on the rental property and obtain a lead-clearance report in accordance with this section. An owner shall have a risk assessment performed on such property within three years, plus or minus 60 days.
(c) Risk assessment after abatement by encapsulation. Where abatement was used to remove all identified lead paint hazards, as prescribed in Subdivision B of this division, by permanent encapsulation of lead-based paint and permanent covering of soil lead hazards, as indicated in the post-remedy clearance report, the owner shall have a risk assessment performed on the rental property every four years, and the lead clearance report shall be valid for four years. If, as a result of such risk assessment, it is determined that the lead-based paint hazard is no longer fully encapsulated, the owner must immediately take necessary action to remedy the lead-based hazard pursuant to Section 8-15-93 of this Code, provided, that, if an owner at any time becomes aware that the integrity of a permanent encapsulation or permanent covering of soil lead hazards may have been damaged, the owner must immediately take necessary action to remedy the lead-based paint hazard pursuant to Section 8-15-93 of this Code.
(d) Risk assessment after abatement by enclosure. Where abatement was used to remove all identified lead-based paint hazards, as prescribed in Subdivision B of this division, by permanent enclosure of lead-based paint, as indicated in the post-remedy clearance report, an owner shall have a risk assessment performed on the rental property every four years and the lead clearance report shall be valid for four years. If, as a result of such risk assessment, it is determined that the lead-based paint hazard is no longer fully enclosed, the owner must immediately take necessary action to remedy the lead-based paint hazard pursuant to Section 8-15-93 of this Code, provided, that, if an owner at any time becomes aware that the integrity of a permanent enclosure may have been damaged, the owner must immediately schedule an inspection by a certified risk assessor and take necessary action to remedy the lead-based paint hazard pursuant to Section 8-15-93 of this Code.
(e) Risk assessment after abatement by removal or elimination. Where all lead-based paint has been fully abated by removal or other permanent elimination from a rental property in accordance with the Michigan Lead Abatement Act, Part 54A of the Michigan Public Health Code, being MCL 333.5451 through 333.5479, as certified by a certified lead inspector or risk assessor, or where a certified lead inspector or risk assessor certified that no lead-based paint exists on a rental property, no further lead inspection, risk assessment, or lead clearance shall be required in order to obtain a Certificate of Compliance, or a Certificate of Registration of Rental Property, for the property.
(f) Length of Certificate of Compliance.
(1) With the exception of Subsection (f)(2) of this section, each Certificate of Compliance issued pursuant to this division shall be for a term of three years, and may be extended from three to five years when the Certificate of Compliance is approved for two consecutive periods prior to expiration.
(2) Certificates of Compliance issued after lead abatement by complete removal or elimination shall be for a term of seven years.
