Regulatory Requirement:

• As of January 1, 2010, the City of Detroit has enforced a Property Maintenance Code requiring all owners of rental properties built before 1978 in the City of Detroit to have a lead inspection and risk assessment performed by a Licensed Lead Assessor to determine the presence of lead based paint and lead based paint hazards.  The City of Detroit has implemented fines ranging from $500 to $8,000 for violations.
• The new EPA Renovation Repair and Painting (RRP) rules require renovations taking place in residences constructed prior to 1978 and child occupied facilities to be conducted in lead safe manner by trained Certified Renovators.  The EPA has begun to issue fines up to $5,000 for the first offense and $10,000 for the subsequent violations.

PME has the licensed professionals to perform the necessary assessments and provide guidance to reduce lead based paint hazards for compliance. 

PME is a full service environmental consulting firm with offices located throughout Michigan and the Southeastern United States, specializing in due diligence services.  Our Building Facility Services Group has licensed Lead Based Paint Inspectors, Risk Assessors, and Certified Renovation Experts through the EPA RRP to help assist with any lead inspection, sampling, or questions you may have.
