DID YOU KNOW…
|
that
any home built before 1978 may contain lead-based
paint, which can cause developmental problems in children
younger than six? |
|
that
home renovation can create lead hazards by producing
airborne dust with lead particles when windows and
walls are removed? |
|
that many of Ohio’s
single-family houses were built before 1978? Renovation
projects can create hazardous situations in homes
with lead-based paint. If you plan to renovate an
older property, be safe and have the lead levels tested
by an Ohio certified inspector. |
|
that roughly 50%
of all inner city children have high levels of lead
in their blood? Cleveland has the highest percentage
of lead paint poisoned children in the nation. Lead
poisoning can damage a young child's brain, causing
learning and behavioral disabilities. Many studies
have shown that lead has a wide range of toxic effects.
|
|
that children
are usually poisoned by lead in peeling paint, dust,
and soil? Children swallow the lead that gets on their
hands and toys in normal hand-to-mouth behavior. The
amount of lead that will poison a child is microscopic.
|
|
that Ohio and
Cleveland passed new laws and ordinances pertaining
to lead paint? This is the new Cleveland ordinance
that passed on 8-11-04. This is a 19-page document.
If you are a property owner or live in the city of
Cleveland, you need to read this entire document.
The ordinance incorporates provisions from the State
Lead Law, establishes a lead hazard disclosure requirement
based on the Federal requirement, and declares lead
hazards a public nuisance. In addition, the ordinance
creates a voluntary program for property owners to
obtain Certificates of Lead-Safe Maintenance and Lead-Free
Status, which provide a liability defense in case
of a lead poisoning lawsuit. Please download this
document. |
|
that if a redevelopment
project is to receive assistance from Housing and
Urban Development funded programs, that certain rules
apply? HUD regulations require that if more than $5,000
per unit of federal assistance or rehabilitation will
occur on a residential property, a risk assessment
is required. |
|
that after the
property is rehabilitated and before occupancy of
a dwelling unit, a lead dust clearance test is required?
|
|
that along with
the federal rules and regulations, the State of Ohio
has laws also, which must be followed? Basically,
the State of Ohio requires that a contractor or worker
engaging in lead activity be licensed. |

Is this a ghost,
an apparition, an anomaly, or just an infrared reflection
from a window?
If you guessed ghost, your right! It is a ghost inside
a room, reflecting to the exterior, from a window appearing
to people on the exterior as an apparition. (Check out our
Infrared Imaging Section.)
