When is a Certificate of Maintained Compliance issued?

A Certificate of Maintained Compliance is issued when an inspection reveals that no lead hazards are present or when any identified hazards have been corrected within a specified timeframe, typically 30 days. This certificate serves as an assurance that a property meets the safety standards related to lead exposure and indicates that proactive measures have been taken to maintain safety.

When all hazards are addressed or none are present, the property is considered to be in compliance with the regulations aimed at protecting residents, especially children, from lead poisoning. Thus, both scenarios—either the absence of hazards or the correction of hazards within the designated period—validate the issuance of the certificate.

This underscores the importance of both proactive inspections and timely remediation of lead hazards in ensuring a safe living environment. The certificate reflects adherence to lead-safe practices, confirming that the property is compliant with local and state regulations regarding lead safety.
