This rule is part of the broader federal framework aimed at identifying and addressing lead-based paint hazards in federally associated housing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Compliance with 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.315 generally means engaging a certified risk assessor to conduct a lead-based paint risk assessment that meets the technical standards of 40 CFR 745.227(d). Compliant operators also track the schedule set by the applicable Federal agency and ensure the assessment is completed within that window. Maintaining documentation of the completed assessment and its findings is a standard practice for demonstrating compliance with this provision.

Under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.315, tenants in federally associated housing have an interest in knowing whether a required lead-based paint risk assessment has been conducted on their property and whether it followed the federally mandated procedures. If a tenant believes an assessment was not completed or was improperly conducted, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the relevant Federal agency overseeing the property or contacting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. HUD's Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes is one public resource that provides information about tenant rights related to lead-based paint requirements.
