EPA v. TRI PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Case summary

During an investigation of a rental property to determine the source of lead exposure in a child with an elevated blood lead level, a Weld County health inspector observed renovation activity at the property that appeared to be out of compliance with the RRP Rule. An employee of the property management company was allegedly removing painted portions of an exterior porch in a home built prior to 1978 without having tested for lead-based paint or utilizing lead-safe work practices. A follow up inspection by the EPA at Respondent?s office confirmed that no certified renovator had been assigned and the firm was not EPA lead-safe certified. Respondent agreed to a penalty, obtained firm certification, and submitted a plan of action to train and certify staff who conduct renovation activities for all of their rental properties.
