by Kevin Lundy of Focused Realty - Denver, CO
In their weekly updates, the National Association of Realtors just reminded everyone that on April 22nd, the EPA will be instituting a new rule for Renovation, Repair and Painting of any homes built prior to January 1, 1978,
According to the news release, contractor will need to be certified to complete the work and or work for a certified renovator firm. This is something listing agents and homeowners should be very aware of when looking to sell homes built prior to 1978, as there will likely be mandated disclosures to pay special attention to, receipted work, etc. The new rule also discusses minimum safety practices to prevent the spreading of lead-based pain dust.
NAR has a guide for those safety practices which spells out the steps that real estate agents, brokers and even property managers will need to take in order to comply with the new EPA Rules.
