No doubt the question will come; why is my turnover paint line so off? Why are we over budget so much?
The law that has been on again off again over the past two to three years is here and it’s real. According to a local STL rehabber blog that I read occasionaly, the EPA is coming out big in the way of fines.
What have you done to prep for this moment? Do you use in-house painters and or contracted third parties to paint your apartments? This will no doubt be a burden for all involved.

Ouch! I heard about this a couple of years ago, but nothing since then. What are the rules again?!
Check the link to this ruling from the EPA website. I think they have a downloadable PDF or print out for contractors.
I have called about EPA courses and they cost about 250.00 for each person who attends. They were offered through the local homebuilders group.
I ask the contractors I meet if they are compliant or of they can be by the time certification is needed for a job. All of them have been willing to get certifications and classes if the job can pay them back for it.
Owner occupied housing is exempt.
This paint ruling dates from a few years ago but did not go into effect until recently.
