For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating under Massachusetts law should understand that 105 CMR 460.000 § 460.010 anchors the entire lead-paint regulatory program to M.G.L. c. 111, §§ 189A–199B. Compliant operators typically familiarize themselves with both the statutory framework and the implementing regulations to understand the full scope of their lead-safety obligations. Because § 460.010 is a purpose provision, it informs how all subsequent sections of 105 CMR 460.000 are to be read and applied.
