Lead certification in Ohio

Elsa Hsu
Posted

Hi BP family,

I'm an out-of-state investor in Ohio for a year. Recently, PM suddenly told me that this property needs "lead testing".
My PM is not aware of this I already have 2-year lead certificate from the previous onwer AND assigned an inspector for lead inspection for me. PM told me "the areas that need to be scraped and painted. The cost to remediate is a total of $3,965." !!!!!!! What the!!!! 
I have seem other forums so I know lead certificate is not a scam. 

I already have a 2-year lead certificate tho. Questions: 
1. How to renew a lead certificate as a new owner? I tried to search online to renew but my name is not under this previous certificate. 
2. Or any suggestions please? 
Will I really get a fine? 
3. Why another of my Ohio property does not get requirements from this? 

Thanks for all of yours' suggestions!
