When are deleading invoices required?

Deleading invoices are required during REOC (Response to Elevated Environmental Concerns) and Final Deleading Reinspections because these invoices document the completion of deleading work and provide essential proof that lead hazard reduction requirements have been met. This documentation is critical for compliance with state regulations and can be an important part of the record-keeping process associated with lead safety.

These invoices help ensure that all necessary actions have been taken to rectify lead hazards, which is vital for protecting public health and maintaining safe living conditions. It allows inspectors and regulatory authorities to confirm that the property has undergone the required deleading procedures and has been verified through subsequent inspections to ensure lead hazards have been adequately addressed.

In contrast, invoices are not required before the initial inspection, during routine maintenance, or exclusively for tax credit applications. Each of these situations serves a different purpose; initial inspections are for assessing lead presence, routine maintenance involves keeping properties in good condition, and tax credits are related to financial incentives rather than regulatory compliance documentation.
