Effective April 2010, all renovators, remodelers and painters working in pre-1978 housing are required to be an EPA-certified renovator trained in lead-safe work practices. This requirement applies to all renovation projects, not just those involving lead abatement. Effected trades include remodelers, renovators, window replacement workers, painters, electricians, plumbers, and any other trades that disturb painted surfaces during the course of their work. Landlords who make repairs themselves are also required to have this certification.
