Preventing child exposure to lead in Baltimore is very important to lifelong good health.
---Even though the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has repeatedly stated that undisturbed lead paint is not hazardous to humans, everyone should be very much aware that lead dust, chipped and cracked lead paint, scraped , peeling and otherwise disturbed lead paint can be extremely dangerous when consumed by the human body --- and in particular by children.
--- Landlords and landowners in Baltimore whose real properties include pre 1978-built residential units (homes) must warn children and parents/guardians of children, as well as pregnant women, that children and pregnant women should not be allowed to be present in pre 1978-built housing that is undergoing renovation.
--- Landlords should warn tenants in writing not to allow their children access to any peeling paint or
chewable surfaces anywhere they are located at any given time in Baltimore City.
--- Landlords should maintain contact with Maryland State and Baltimore City health officials about testing paint and dust in their pre 1978-built housing units, as well as handing out the required lead-related documents and notices to tenants.
--- Maintenance -- Maintenance -- Maintenance. Consistent and reliable maintenance is key for any renter of pre 1978-built housing units in Baltimore City. If you cannot afford the maintenance, do not rent the property. Failure in this arena can be costly.
