Lead Paint Information for
Families
There is a lead law in Massachusetts that requires
the deleading or interim control of lead hazards
existing in homes built before 1978 where children
under six reside. Owners are responsible for
complying with the Lead Law and paying the costs to
delead. This includes owners of rental property as well
as owners living in their own single-family or
multi-family home.
Property owners can contact the Massachusetts Lead
Poisoning Prevention Program to get a list of licensed
lead inspectors to check for lead paint. Tenants with
children under age six can call their local Lead
Poisoning Prevention Program or Health Department and
ask for a free lead inspection or determination.
