Lead Law Update (FAQ Series): How does the City know if a landlord is compliant with the amended law?

We are regularly receiving questions regarding the new Lead Law and have created a weekly “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQ’s) forum for you as you desire to become more informed of the Lead Law and its complexity.

This week we are featuring a common question:

 Question: How does the City know if a landlord is compliant with the amended law?

 Answer: The Public Health department is now obtaining from the Eclipse (rental license system) a list of all properties that are rental units. They are cross-checking this list to the lead safe certificates that are being filed by landlords. Many landlords are already receiving letters from the public health department regarding missing certificates. 

 We hope this information is useful/of interest to you and appreciate your continued business.
