@Brad Neihardt it would have to built on an environmental anomaly, in a flood zone, be a historic property, or have active knob-and-tube to have a rate like that...but there are lots of variables Good luck getting some better rates

There are also environmental and ecological impediments as well.

I’m looking to find a contractor here in Baltimore, MD to do some potential lead remediation.I’ve been going through the Maryland Environmental department list, but haven’t had too much success.Does anyone have any suggestions about finding a good contractor who can do the job?

I am also very interested in environmental conservation and historic restoration.

The environmental phase 1 analysis came back with a number of issues. 

But increased density combined with poor planning leads to traffic congestion and air and noise pollution, making city living difficult.

I would avoid some of the close-in areas that have been historically inexpensive but are starting to get trendy like Globeville and Commerce City just due to the industrial pollution in those areas however.

Usually the Phase 1 names the pollutant (for example Chevron, Hughes aerospace).

If that's the case, you can't do any renovations until you have it professionally deleaded or it would be flagged for Unautohrized Deleading and you can get fined and the property would never be able to get a Lead Certificate, only a letter of Environmental Protection that states you did illegal work, got caught, then had to pay a professional to clean up the mess.
