24 C.F.R. § 35.810
§ 35.810 Notices and pamphlet. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
(a) Notices. When evaluation or hazard reduction is undertaken, the Department shall provide a notice to occupants in accordance with § 35.125. A visual assessment alone is not considered an evaluation for the purposes of this part. (b) Lead hazard information pamphlet. HUD shall provide the lead hazard information pamphlet in accordance with § 35.130.
Under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.810, when HUD undertakes evaluation or hazard reduction activities at a property, it is required to deliver a formal notice to occupants following the standards set out in § 35.125. The rule clarifies that a visual assessment alone does not qualify as an 'evaluation' for these purposes, meaning the notice obligation is not triggered by a visual-only inspection. Separately, HUD must also provide occupants with the lead hazard information pamphlet as specified in § 35.130.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners and managers working with HUD on covered properties, § 35.810 establishes that HUD bears the responsibility for issuing occupant notices and distributing the lead hazard information pamphlet when evaluation or hazard reduction is conducted. Compliant operators generally maintain records of when such activities occur and coordinate with HUD to confirm that required notices and pamphlets have been delivered to occupants. Operators also take note that a visual assessment alone does not satisfy the definition of an evaluation under this section, which affects when the formal notice requirement is triggered.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 35.810, occupants of HUD-covered properties are entitled to receive a formal notice whenever evaluation or hazard reduction activities are carried out, as well as the lead hazard information pamphlet describing potential lead hazards. If you believe these materials were not provided as required, you may raise the omission with your local HUD field office or a tenant-rights organization familiar with federal lead safety regulations. Consulting a housing advocacy group can help you understand what documentation you should have received and what general options exist for addressing a potential gap in compliance.
