In November 2026, a paid contractor was hired to replace eight original painted windows in a 1964 duplex. The work would disturb painted surfaces in occupied units. Which statement best reflects the federal lead renovation rules?

Correct Answer

A) The firm and renovator generally must be EPA certified and use required lead-safe work practices

EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule generally requires paid firms and renovators working in covered pre-1978 housing to be properly certified and to follow required lead-safe work practices when disturbing painted surfaces. Window replacement is a classic activity that can trigger those requirements.

Answer Options
A
The firm and renovator generally must be EPA certified and use required lead-safe work practices
B
Only a local building permit is needed because the work will be completed in less than one week
C
No special federal rule applies unless a child in the building already has elevated blood lead levels
D
The contractor may rely solely on the owner's verbal statement that no lead-based paint is present
