(g) Lead Based Paint <br /> 1) All interior surfaces must be either free of <br /> cracking, scaling, peeling, chipping, and <br /> loose paint or be adequately treated or <br /> covered (as discussed in 3 below) to prevent <br /> the exposure of the occupants to lead based <br /> paint hazards, <br /> 2) All exterior surfaces (such as stairs, decks, <br /> porches, railing, windows and doors) which are <br /> accessible to children under seven years of age <br /> must be free of cracking, scaling, peeling, <br /> chipping and loose paint or be adequately <br /> treated or covered (as discussed in 3, below) <br /> to prevent the exposure of such children to <br /> lead based paint hazards. <br /> 3) All surfaces to be treated must be thoroughly <br /> washed, sanded, and scraped or wire brushed <br /> so as to remove all hazards before repainting <br /> with at least two coats of a suitable nonleaded <br /> paint. All surfaces to be covered must have <br /> had the paint removed or covered with materials <br /> such as gypsum wallboard, plywood, drywall, <br /> plaster, or other suitable material. (Simply <br /> painting over surfaces requiring treatment or <br /> covering as a abatement method is not an <br /> acceptable means of compliance.) <br />
