No one is challenging that lead paint needs to be controlled and we are behind keeping properties safe and we fully agree that deadbeat landlords need to be pursued...however the law is excessive in several capacities.)I'd like to know why the existing and currently quite active Neighbor Works (blight, neglect, abandonment, disrepair  violations) can't pursue properties with peeling exterior paint...immediately attacking half of the problem for the lead paint law (exterior vs interior) and I would expect 80% of the real problem landlords here in Toledo.

It's nasty stuff and a regular face mask won't cut it.Use a respirator that is specifically designed for mold, like this one:http://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-P100-Medium-Mold-and...It's short money for good protection.

Good idea to use a mask.

I was able to view the unoccupied side and noted the following problems: massive cracks in the tub surround tile, uneven floors, walls, and ceilings throughout, an active small leak from the water heater in the kitchen closet, peeling vinyl tile over water damaged original hardwood floors in the kitchen in an area far from the water heater and all plumbing, and a piece of plywood below the stove and refrigerator that I assume is for strength.
