How long is the Letter of Interim Control valid?

The Letter of Interim Control is valid for one year. This time frame is established to encourage property owners to address lead hazards in a timely manner. The letter serves as a temporary measure, recognizing that while lead risks are being managed, ongoing assessments and actions need to be taken to ensure compliance with lead safety regulations.

After this one-year period, property owners are typically expected to have either completed remediation efforts or re-evaluated the situation to ensure that lead hazards have not re-emerged. Renewing or reassessing the Letter of Interim Control is crucial for maintaining the safety of residents, particularly children, who are vulnerable to lead risks. This structured timeline is essential in promoting proactive management of lead hazards and fostering a safer living environment.
