@Michelle Fox

In Cleveland, properties built before 1978 are subject to lead paint regulations, as the use of lead-based paint was banned in 1978. Landlords must ensure that their rental properties are lead-safe, especially when children under 6 years old are present. You’ll need to obtain a lead-safe certification for your property, which involves conducting a lead inspection and remediation (if necessary). The certification process may include an inspection by a licensed lead risk assessor.

For more specific guidance and to ensure compliance with local regulations, you may want to contact the City of Cleveland’s Department of Health or a lead-certified professional in your area.
