24 C.F.R. § 35.935
§ 35.935 Ongoing lead-based paint maintenance activities. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
In the case of a rental property receiving Federal rehabilitation assistance under the HOME program, the grantee or participating jurisdiction shall require the property owner to incorporate ongoing lead-based paint maintenance activities in regular building operations, in accordance with § 35.1355(a).
Under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.935, when a rental property receives federal rehabilitation assistance through the HOME program, the rule requires that ongoing lead-based paint maintenance be woven into the property's regular building operations. The governing grantee or participating jurisdiction bears responsibility for ensuring the property owner follows this requirement, with the specific maintenance standards set out in § 35.1355(a). This provision establishes a continuing obligation tied to the receipt of HOME program funds, not merely a one-time compliance step.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners whose rental buildings receive HOME program rehabilitation assistance are expected, under § 35.935, to integrate lead-based paint maintenance into their routine building operations on an ongoing basis. Compliant operators typically establish regular inspection schedules, document maintenance activities related to lead-based paint, and coordinate with their grantee or participating jurisdiction to demonstrate adherence to the standards referenced in § 35.1355(a). Keeping thorough records of these activities is a practice commonly associated with meeting the continuing nature of this obligation.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 35.935 establishes that tenants living in HOME-assisted rental properties have an interest in knowing that their landlord is required to maintain lead-based paint conditions as part of regular building operations. If a tenant believes this ongoing maintenance is not occurring, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the local grantee or participating jurisdiction that administers HOME funds, as those entities are responsible for enforcing the requirement. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing agencies can also help residents understand what protections apply under § 35.935 and § 35.1355(a).
