Cal. Civ. Code § 380.614
Lead-Based Paint
Operative Text
All Projects involving rehabilitation must be free of lead-based paint hazards.� For all buildings constructed prior to January 1, 1978, Developers shall certify to the Agency that they have visually inspected the building for lead-based paint hazards and, if such hazards have been found, have performed remediation, abatement, or encapsulation, in conformance with federal and State law.� For buildings constructed on or after January 1, 1978, Developers shall certify, using the form prescribed by the Agency, that the building contains no lead-based paint.
Section 380.614 of the Illinois Administrative Code establishes that any rehabilitation project must be free of lead-based paint hazards before it can proceed. Buildings built before January 1, 1978, require a visual inspection for lead hazards, and any hazards discovered must be addressed through remediation, abatement, or encapsulation in line with federal and state law. Buildings constructed on or after January 1, 1978, require a formal certification confirming the absence of lead-based paint.

Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.614, developers and property owners undertaking rehabilitation projects are responsible for ensuring their buildings are free of lead-based paint hazards. For pre-1978 construction, compliant operators conduct a visual inspection, document any hazards found, and carry out the appropriate remediation, abatement, or encapsulation before certifying to the Agency. For buildings built in 1978 or later, operators complete the Agency-prescribed certification form attesting that no lead-based paint is present.

Section 380.614 of 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 provides tenants in rehabilitated housing with a baseline protection: the property must be certified free of lead-based paint hazards as a condition of the project. Tenants in older buildings built before 1978 can be aware that developers are required to inspect for and address any lead hazards before certifying compliance with the Agency. If there are concerns that a rehabilitation project did not meet these lead-paint requirements, tenants may consider contacting the Illinois Housing Development Authority, a local tenant-rights organization, or seeking guidance on how to raise the issue through appropriate channels.
