24 C.F.R. § 891.325
§ 891.325 Lead-based paint requirements. (24 CFR Part 891)
Operative Text
The requirements of 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, H, J, and R of this title apply to the section 811 program and to projects funded under §§ 891.655 through 891.790.
Under 24 CFR Part 891 § 891.325, federal lead-based paint laws and their implementing regulations — covering areas such as disclosure, hazard evaluation, and hazard reduction — apply specifically to housing developed or assisted under the Section 811 program and to projects funded under the related capital advance provisions. This means the full framework of federal lead-paint protections, not just a subset, governs these properties. The rule ties together multiple statutes and regulatory subparts to ensure consistent lead safety standards across this category of federally supported housing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of Section 811 properties and projects covered by 24 CFR Part 891 § 891.325 are generally expected to comply with the overlapping requirements of federal lead-based paint statutes and the implementing regulations found at 24 CFR Part 35, including obligations related to disclosure, risk assessment, and hazard reduction activities. Compliant operators typically maintain documentation of any lead hazard evaluations, ensure required notices are provided to residents, and carry out any remediation or ongoing maintenance activities as specified under the applicable Part 35 subparts. Because multiple regulatory subparts apply simultaneously, property managers generally track each subpart's distinct procedural requirements as part of their compliance programs.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents living in Section 811 housing or projects covered by 24 CFR Part 891 § 891.325 are protected by a layered set of federal lead-based paint rules, which can include rights to disclosure of known lead hazards, notification of any hazard reduction work, and certain ongoing protections related to lead-safe maintenance. If a tenant believes these protections are not being honored, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the property's management, contacting the local HUD field office, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with federal housing programs. Consulting publicly available HUD resources or a housing counselor can help tenants understand which specific obligations under Part 35 apply to their building.
