Questions answered about the new RRP rule. Certified lead-free homes are exempt!
Q How will I benefit from having my home or business inspected?
A If the paint on your pre-1978 structure can be tested and certified to be free of paint that contains lead, it will fall under an exemption to the Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rules.
The exemptions include:
- Home or child-occupied facility built 1978 or later
- Work that is performed for free (e.g., no exchange of money, goods, or services) *
- Work performed by do-it-yourselfers on their own homes *
- Work
that is performed during an emergency (i.e., a hazardous, non-routine
situation that could either threaten public health or cause substantial
property damage)
- Housing that has already been determined in writing by a certified inspector or risk assessor to be free of lead-based paint or other surfaces that contain lead in a certain amount (see the regulation for details)
- Zero bedroom dwellings
- Minor
repairs that disturb 6 square feet or less of paint per room in the
interior or 20 square feet or less of paint in the exterior (Although California laws do not allow for any lead dust hazards)
- Elderly housing (unless children reside there)
