California Health and Safety Code, and State Housing Law
State codes and laws now make existing lead hazards, or creating a lead hazard, a violation subject to fines and/or imprisonment. This means that pre-1978 homes should be maintained so that they are lead-safe, with the paint intact. It also means that if you are conducting activities that disturb painted surfaces on a pre-1978 building, you must take steps to contain the paint chips and dust. There are also some prohibited renovation activities. Alameda County Lead Poisoning Prevention Program offers classes in lead-safe work practices for property owners and contractors.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).

Alameda County has been out, but the EPA and OSHA need to come as well.

This property looks better every day.

Major improvements continue to take place here.

This is a pre 1978 building, which requires lead-safe work practices to prevent lead hazards from contaminating the neighborhood. Alameda County Healthy Homes stopped by a few days ago, and wan't very happy with the worksite. Hope OSHA has a chance to check in as well.

is handout is designed to help contractors understand California’s lead-based paint (LBP)
work practice requirements. These regulations are separate from EPA’s RRP Rule and have
been in effect for a number of years.
Lead-based Paint Work Practices in California
(References: Title 17, CCR, Div 1, Ch 8, Accreditation, Certification and Work Practices for
Lead-Based Paint and Lead Hazards and SB 460, the Cal/OSHA Lead in Construction Standard)
1. You must presume that any untested surface coating in all pre-78 structures is LBP.
This applies to everyone in the state - not just contractors - and covers all structures - not just
Target Housing and Child-Occupied Facilities. So, any time you work in a pre-78 structure in CA
that has not been tested, you must presume all surfaces are covered with lead-based paint.(HSI)
2. If you disturb ANY AMOUNT of known lead-based paint or presumed lead-based paint
in a structure in California, you must:
• contain the work area
• use lead safe work practices
• make sure there is no visible dust or debris at the end of your project
• demonstrate compliance with containment and lead safe work practices if asked by the
California Department of Public Health or a local enforcement agency
This applies to all structures, no matter how small the job. It also applies even if there is no
compensation involved

§35043. Presumed Lead-Based Paint.
“Presumed lead-based paint” means paint or surface coating affixed to a component in or on a structure constructed prior to January 1, 1978. “Presumed lead-based paint” does not include paint or surface coating that has been tested and found to contain an amount of lead less than one milligram per square centimeter (1.0 mg/cm2) or less than half of one percent (0.5%) by weight.
