owner who is not a licensed deleader can do certain other deleading and interim control

work. Owners and workers must have special training to perform the deleading tasks they

may do. After the work is done, the lead inspector or risk assessor checks the home. He

or she may take dust samples to test for lead, to make sure the home has been properly

cleaned up. If everything is fine, he or she gives the owner a Letter of Compliance or

Letter of Interim Control. After getting one of these letters, the owner must take care

of the home and make sure there is no peeling paint.

What is a Letter of Compliance?

It is a legal letter under state law that says either that there are no lead paint

hazards or that the home has been deleaded. The letter is signed and dated by a licensed

lead inspector.

What is a Letter of Interim Control?

It is a legal letter under state law that says work necessary to make the home

temporarily safe from serious lead hazards has been done. The letter is signed and dated

by a licensed risk assessor. It is good for one year, but can be renewed for another

year. The owner must fully delead the home and get a Letter of Compliance before the

end of the second year.
