Lead based paint in Washington D.C

[Alazar Wubet]

I filed for a demolition permit for my 1913 townhouse in D.C and i just got the response that a lead permit maybe required. the comments also state that i should fill an environmental review questionnaire and upload pictures of the house. My architect told me to get a contractor to test if there is lead based paint and get certification or state if they will treat it. but i am gutting the whole interior and i'll be changing the paint either way. is there anything i could do, or you can recommend? Thanks
