apartment – not in the basement or other common areas of the building.

3. All boxes and packing materials must be removed by the delivery person. If it is left behind, the resident is responsible for breaking down and folding all packing, and the proper disposing and recycling of all materials.

Many houses and apartments built before 1978 havepaint that contains high levels of lead (called lead-based paint). Lead from paint, chips, and dust can

pose serious health hazards if not taken care of properly.

OWNERS, BUYERS, and RENTERS areencouraged to check for lead (see page 6)before renting, buying or renovating pre-1978 housing.

Federal law requires that individuals receive certain information before renting, buying, or renovating pre-1978 housing:

LANDLORDS have to disclose known infor-mation on lead-based paint and lead-basedpaint hazards before leases take effect.Leases must include a disclosure aboutlead-based paint.

SELLERS have to disclose known informa-tion on lead-based paint and lead-basedpaint hazards before selling a house. Salescontracts must include a disclosure aboutlead-based paint. Buyers have up to 10days to check for lead.

RENOVATORS disturbing more than 2 squarefeet of painted surfaces have to give youthis pamphlet before starting work.

IMPORTANT!

Lead From Paint, Dust, andSoil Can Be Dangerous If Not

Managed Properly

FACT: Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even before theyare born.

FACT: Even children who seem healthy canhave high levels of lead in their bodies.

FACT: People can get lead in their bodies bybreathing or swallowing lead dust, or byeating soil or paint chips containinglead.

FACT: People have many options for reducinglead hazards. In most cases, lead-basedpaint that is in good condition is not ahazard.

FACT: Removing lead-based paint improperlycan increase the danger to your family.

If you think your home might have lead hazards, read this pamphlet to learn some

simple steps to protect your family.

People can get lead in their body if they:

� Breathe in lead dust (especially duringrenovations that disturb painted surfaces).

� Put their hands or other objects covered with lead dust in their mouths.

� Eat paint chips or soil that containslead.

Lead is even more dangerous to childrenunder the age of 6:

� At this age children’s brains and nervoussystems are more sensitive to the dam-aging effects of lead.

� Children’s growing bodies absorb morelead.

� Babies and young children often puttheir hands and other objects in theirmouths. These objects can have leaddust on them.

Lead is also dangerous to women ofchildbearing age:

� Women with a high lead level in theirsystem prior to pregnancy would exposea fetus to lead through the placentaduring fetal development.

Lead’s Effects

It is important to know that even exposureto low levels of lead can severely harm children.

In children, lead can cause:

� Nervous system and kidney damage.

� Learning disabilities, attention deficitdisorder, and decreased intelligence.

� Speech, language, and behavior problems.

� Poor muscle coordination.

� Decreased muscle and bone growth.

� Hearing damage.

While low-lead exposure is most common, exposure to high levels of lead can have devastating effects onchildren, including seizures, uncon-sciousness, and, in some cases, death.

Although children are especially susceptible to lead exposure, lead can be dangerous for adults too.

In adults, lead can cause:

� Increased chance of illness duringpregnancy.

� Harm to a fetus, including brain damage or death.

� Fertility problems (in men and women).

� High blood pressure.

� Digestive problems.

� Nerve disorders.

� Memory and concentration problems.

� Muscle and joint pain.

Many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint. The federal governmentbanned lead-based paint from housing in1978. Some states stopped its use evenearlier. Lead can be found:

� In homes in the city, country, or suburbs.

� In apartments, single-family homes, andboth private and public housing.

� Inside and outside of the house.

� In soil around a home. (Soil can pick uplead from exterior paint or other sourcessuch as past use of leaded gas in cars.)

To reduce your child's exposure to lead,get your child checked, have your hometested (especially if your home has paintin poor condition and was built before1978), and fix any hazards you may have.Children's blood lead levels tend to increaserapidly from 6 to 12 months of age, andtend to peak at 18 to 24 months of age.

Consult your doctor for advice on testingyour children. A simple blood test candetect high levels of lead. Blood tests areusually recommended for:

� Children at ages 1 and 2.

� Children or other family members whohave been exposed to high levels of lead.

� Children who should be tested underyour state or local health screening plan.

Your doctor can explain what the test resultsmean and if more testing will be needed.

Checking Your Family for Lead

Where Lead-Based Paint Is Found

In general,the older yourhome, themore likely ithas lead-based paint.

Page 38: 175 EASTERN PARKWAY TENANTS CORPORATION …ebmg.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/175-Complete... · 112 West 34 th Street, 18 Floor, New York, NY 10120 – T: 212-502-7048 175 EASTERN

Lead-based paint is usually not a hazard ifit is in good condition, and it is not on animpact or friction surface, like a window. Itis defined by the federal government aspaint with lead levels greater than or equalto 1.0 milligram per square centimeter, ormore than 0.5% by weight.

Deteriorating lead-based paint (peeling,chipping, chalking, cracking or damaged)is a hazard and needs immediate attention.It may also be a hazard when found on sur-faces that children can chew or that get alot of wear-and-tear, such as:

� Windows and window sills.

� Doors and door frames.

� Stairs, railings, banisters, and porches.

Lead dust can form when lead-based paint is scraped, sanded, orheated. Dust also forms when painted surfaces bump or rub togeth-er. Lead chips and dust can get on surfaces and objects that peopletouch. Settled lead dust can re-enter the air when people vacuum,sweep, or walk through it. The following two federal standards havebeen set for lead hazards in dust:

� 40 micrograms per square foot (µg/ft2) and higher for floors,including carpeted floors.

� 250 µg/ft2 and higher for interior window sills.

Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil orwhen people bring soil into the house on their shoes. The followingtwo federal standards have been set for lead hazards in residentialsoil:

� 400 parts per million (ppm) and higher in play areas of bare soil.

� 1,200 ppm (average) and higher in bare soil in the remainder ofthe yard.

The only way to find out if paint, dust and soil lead hazards exist isto test for them. The next page describes the most common meth-ods used.

Lead frompaint chips,which youcan see, andlead dust,which youcan’t alwayssee, can bothbe serious hazards.

You can get your home tested for lead inseveral different ways:

� A paint inspection tells you whether yourhome has lead-based paint and where itis located. It won’t tell you whether or notyour home currently has lead hazards.

� A risk assessment tells you if your homecurrently has any lead hazards from leadin paint, dust, or soil. It also tells you whatactions to take to address any hazards.

� A combination risk assessment andinspection tells you if your home has any lead hazards and if your home hasany lead-based paint, and where thelead-based paint is located.

Hire a trained and certified testing profes-sional who will use a range of reliablemethods when testing your home.

� Visual inspection of paint condition and location.

� A portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF)machine.

� Lab tests of paint, dust, and soilsamples.

There are state and federal programs inplace to ensure that testing is done safely,reliably, and effectively. Contact your stateor local agency (see bottom of page 11) formore information, or call 1-800-424-LEAD(5323) for a list of contacts in your area.

Home test kits for lead are available, butmay not always be accurate. Consumersshould not rely on these kits before doingrenovations or to assure safety.

Checking Your Home for Lead

Just knowingthat a homehas lead-based paintmay not tellyou if there is a hazard.

� Clean or remove shoes beforeentering your home to avoidtracking in lead from soil.

� Make sure children eat nutritious, low-fat meals high in iron and calcium, such asspinach and dairy products.Children with good diets absorbless lead.

What You Can Do Now To Protect Your Family

In addition to day-to-day cleaning and goodnutrition:

� You can temporarily reduce lead hazardsby taking actions such as repairing dam-aged painted surfaces and planting grassto cover soil with high lead levels. Theseactions (called “interim controls”) are notpermanent solutions and will need ongo-ing attention.

� To permanently remove lead hazards,you should hire a certified lead “abate-ment” contractor. Abatement (or perma-nent hazard elimination) methodsinclude removing, sealing, or enclosinglead-based paint with special materials.Just painting over the hazard with regularpaint is not permanent removal.

Always hire a person with special trainingfor correcting lead problems—someonewho knows how to do this work safely andhas the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly. Certified contractors will employqualified workers and follow strict safetyrules as set by their state or by the federalgovernment.

Once the work is completed, dust cleanupactivities must be repeated until testingindicates that lead dust levels are below thefollowing:

� 40 micrograms per square foot (µg/ft2)for floors, including carpeted floors;

� 250 µg/ft2 for interior windows sills; and

� 400 µg/ft2 for window troughs.

Call your state or local agency (see bottomof page 11) for help in locating certifiedprofessionals in your area and to see iffinancial assistance is available.

Reducing Lead Hazards In The Home

Removinglead improperlycan increasethe hazard toyour familyby spreadingeven morelead dustaround thehouse.

Always use a professional whois trained toremove lead hazards safely.

Page 42: 175 EASTERN PARKWAY TENANTS CORPORATION …ebmg.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/175-Complete... · 112 West 34 th Street, 18 Floor, New York, NY 10120 – T: 212-502-7048 175 EASTERN

Take precautions before your contractor oryou begin remodeling or renovating any-thing that disturbs painted surfaces (suchas scraping off paint or tearing out walls):
