What triggers a compliance evaluation according to the "three strike" rule?

The "three strike" rule is associated with compliance evaluations in the context of lead inspection and risk assessment. In this framework, specific findings can trigger a closer examination of lead hazards in a property.

When considering leaded door casings but finding negative jambs, this indicates a discrepancy in lead presence between different parts of the structure. It raises concerns since it may suggest that while certain areas have been contaminated, others have not been adequately assessed or mitigated. This inconsistency would warrant a compliance evaluation to ensure all potential lead hazards are addressed properly.

In contrast, the other scenarios do not demonstrate the same level of concern that would trigger such an evaluation. For example, five documented hazards would indicate issues but does not trigger the specific compliance evaluation under the "three strike" rule. Similarly, no signs of lead in the area or high levels of dust in all units could be interpreted in ways that do not necessitate a reevaluation according to this particular rule. The highlight is on the specific conditions that reveal inconsistencies or doubts about lead safety in a dwelling, which prompts further investigation to protect public health.
