Definition: Paint containing lead at or above the applicable regulatory threshold. Deterioration or disturbance can create hazardous dust or chips.
Example
A buyer of covered pre-1978 housing receives required lead disclosures and information before becoming bound by the contract.
Keep the distinction clear
Disclosure requirements and renovation work-practice rules are separate. A property owner's lack of knowledge does not eliminate every requirement, and visual inspection alone cannot establish that paint is lead-free.
