Plain English

Minn. R. 4761 § 4761.2680 establishes the required contents of lead-related inspection, risk assessment, hazard screen, clearance, and hazard reduction reports for affected properties in Minnesota. Each type of report must capture specific details—ranging from property address and construction date to testing methods, laboratory identifiers, and inspector credentials—so that a complete and verifiable record of lead conditions and any remediation work exists. Risk assessment reports must additionally describe the nature and severity of lead hazards and recommend reduction priorities, while hazard reduction reports must document the methods used, the rooms affected, and the occupant protection plan. All reports must be retained for at least three years, and the completing party must notify the commissioner in writing before ceasing operations.

For Property Managers

Under Minn. R. 4761 § 4761.2680, property owners and certified lead firms are generally expected to ensure that every lead inspection, risk assessment, hazard screen, clearance, and hazard reduction report is fully populated with all required fields before the report is finalized—including property details, inspector credentials, testing equipment identifiers, laboratory EPA numbers, and analytical results. Owners who personally perform lead hazard reduction must prepare their own written hazard reduction report covering the occupant protection plan, methods used, and a copy of the clearance inspection report. Compliant operators also retain all required reports for three years and provide written notice to the commissioner identifying where records will be kept if they cease operations, as required by this section.

For Tenants

Minn. R. 4761 § 4761.2680 directly supports tenant interests by requiring that lead inspection and risk assessment reports include a statement obligating the owner to provide the actual report or a summary to new lessees or tenants, consistent with federal disclosure requirements under 24 C.F.R. § 35.88 and 40 C.F.R. § 745.107. This means tenants in affected properties have a right to receive meaningful information about lead conditions identified through these regulated reports. Tenants who believe they have not received required lead disclosures or report summaries may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization, contact the Minnesota Department of Health, or explore federal complaint channels through HUD, which oversees the related federal disclosure rules.
