(MA) Deleading common areas in a condo buildling

[Winnie C.]

I own one of the five units in a converted condo building. I understand that MA has laws that force landlords to delead the unit if a child under the age of six were to live there. I don't have a problem with that. I am not sure how to delead the common areas though. Common areas in my building mainly include shared washer/dryer and storage in the basement, stairs, hallways, and a yard which has been converted to a parking lot.

One source I've found requires the condo association to delead the common area (

http://www.mass.gov/dor/businesses/help-and-resour...

). I don't see how the condo association would agree to come up with a special assessment to delead the common area while none of the other four units (all childless) would benefit from it? Even if I agree to pay for deleading the common area, my understanding is no one will have access to those areas for about a week and a half during the deleading process. How would residents in the other four units do their laundry or walk in the hallway during this period?

Has anyone got this done in the past?
