24 C.F.R. § 200.800
§ 200.800 Lead-based paint. (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
The Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4821-4846), the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4851-4856), and implementing regulations at part 35, subparts A, B, F, G, I, and R of this title, apply to activities under these programs, except for single family mortgage insurance and guarantee programs. Sections 200.805 and 200.810 apply to single family mortgage insurance and guarantee programs administered by HUD.
Under 24 CFR Part 200 § 200.800, federal lead-based paint laws — including the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act and the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 — along with their implementing regulations, are incorporated into HUD-covered housing programs. This means that the hazard-reduction, disclosure, and evaluation requirements established under those laws carry over into the relevant HUD programs. Single-family mortgage insurance and guarantee programs are carved out from this general rule and are instead governed by the separate standards found in §§ 200.805 and 200.810.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers participating in HUD-covered programs subject to § 200.800 are generally expected to comply with the lead-based paint hazard reduction, notification, and evaluation requirements drawn from the referenced federal statutes and the implementing regulations at 35 CFR part 35. Operators typically maintain documentation of any lead hazard assessments, disclosures made to occupants, and any remediation or interim control measures taken. Those involved specifically in single-family mortgage insurance or guarantee programs should look to §§ 200.805 and 200.810 rather than the broader regulatory framework cited here.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in housing covered by HUD programs subject to § 200.800 have protections rooted in federal lead-based paint law, including rights related to hazard disclosure and reduction. If a tenant believes these protections have not been honored, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the relevant HUD office, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting a housing attorney familiar with federal lead-based paint regulations. Tenants in properties connected to single-family mortgage insurance or guarantee programs should be aware that §§ 200.805 and 200.810 set out the specific standards that apply to those arrangements.
