24 C.F.R. § 35.600
§ 35.600 Purpose and applicability. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
The purpose of this subpart G is to establish procedures to eliminate as far as practicable lead-based paint hazards in a multifamily residential property for which HUD is the owner of the mortgage or the owner receives mortgage insurance, under a program administered by HUD.
Section 35.600 establishes the scope and intent of Subpart G of 24 CFR Part 35, which applies to multifamily residential properties where HUD either holds the mortgage or provides mortgage insurance through one of its programs. The rule's purpose is to set out procedures aimed at eliminating lead-based paint hazards in those properties to the greatest extent that is practicable. It does not apply to all rental housing broadly, but specifically to properties with this type of HUD financial involvement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners and managers of multifamily properties backed by HUD mortgage insurance or a HUD-held mortgage should recognize that § 35.600 places their properties squarely within the scope of Subpart G's lead-based paint hazard elimination requirements. Compliant operators generally confirm whether their financing arrangement triggers applicability and then follow the procedural requirements that flow from this subpart. Staying current on HUD program guidance helps ensure that lead-based paint obligations tied to this federal involvement are properly identified and addressed.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you live in a multifamily property where HUD holds the mortgage or provides mortgage insurance, § 35.600 signals that federal lead-based paint hazard procedures under Subpart G are intended to apply to your building. Tenants in covered properties may have grounds to raise lead-based paint hazard concerns with building management, a local housing authority, or HUD directly if they believe the required procedures are not being followed. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with HUD-assisted housing can help residents understand what protections Subpart G is designed to provide.
