Kan. Admin. Regs. 28-72 § K.A.R. 28-72-54
Recordkeeping requirements.
Operative Text
(a) Each renovator shall retain and, if requested, make available to KDHE all records necessary to demonstrate compliance with this article for a period of three years following completion of the renovation in target housing. (b) Records shall be retained as specified in subsection (a) of this regulation, if applicable. These records shall include the following: (1) Reports certifying that a determination had been made by an inspector who has been certified in accordance with this article that lead-based paint is not present in the area affected by the renovation as described in K.A.R. 28-72-52 (b)(3); (2) signed and dated acknowledgments of receipt as described in K.A.R. 28-72-53 (a)(1)(A), (a)(2)(A), and (b)(1)(A); (3) certifications of attempted delivery as described in K.A.R. 28-72-53 (a)(2)(A); (4) certificates of mailing as described in K.A.R. 28-72-53, (a)(1)(B), (a)(2)(B), and (b)(1)(B); and (5) records of renovation notices to tenants and owners of residential dwellings as described in K.A.R. 28-72-54.
K.A.R. 28-72-54 establishes recordkeeping obligations for renovators working in target housing—residential properties where lead-based paint may be present. Under this rule, renovators must keep all documentation that demonstrates compliance with the lead-safe renovation requirements for three years after a renovation is completed, and must produce those records upon request by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). The required records include lead-paint inspection reports, signed acknowledgments of disclosure delivery, certificates of mailing, and notices provided to tenants and property owners.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under K.A.R. 28-72-54, property owners who perform or contract renovation work in target housing are expected to ensure that all compliance documentation is collected, organized, and retained for at least three years after each renovation project concludes. Compliant operators typically maintain a project file that includes inspector certifications regarding lead-based paint, signed or certified delivery acknowledgments from tenants, and copies of all renovation notices. Keeping these records readily accessible allows for prompt response if KDHE requests them during an audit or investigation.

K.A.R. 28-72-54 gives tenants an indirect protection: renovators are required to retain records—including notices sent to tenants and acknowledgments of receipt—for three years, and those records must be made available to KDHE upon request. If a tenant believes proper lead-safe renovation disclosures or notices were not provided, the existence (or absence) of these records can be relevant to any complaint filed with KDHE. Tenants who have concerns about lead-safe practices during a renovation may contact KDHE or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what documentation they are entitled to receive and what remedies may be available.
