This determination found lead paint in violation of the Lead Law,Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 111, section 197, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's (DPH's)Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control Regulations, 105 Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR)460.000. The law requires owners of homes or apartments built before 1978 to have lead paint violations deleaded for full compliance or brought under interim control when a child under six years old lives there. A private risk assessor has to do a risk assessment and give you a lead inspection/risk assessment report before you can go ahead with interim control.A private lead inspector has to do a comprehensive lead inspection and give you a lead inspection report before you can go ahead with deleading for full compliance. If you already have a Letter of Compliance for this property,please complete the last page of the Order to Correct and send it to me within 14 days. The Order that comes with this letter has important information telling you: • what you have to do • what deadlines to meet • what documents you have to send to this agency • who can do the necessary work • what the penalties are for not meeting the Order's requirements • what your options are if the property has been previously deleaded. Please call me at this office at 978.688.9540 as soon as possible to discuss this Order and how to meet it. The following information explains the deleading process, if the property has not been deleaded previously. BOH Cover Revised 1-05 Pa.ae 1 of 3 Hiring a Lead Inspector To help you take the first step—getting a full inspection or risk assessment—a list of lead inspectors is enclosed. We recommend that you check references and make sure that the inspector is still licensed. You can check on the license by calling the state Department of Public Health's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program(CLPPP)before hiring an inspector. To get a list of risk assessors for interim control, call CLPPP's central office at 1-800-532-9571. You can also get other helpful materials from CLPPP, including brochures explaining the choices of full compliance deleading and interim control.Again,you can get these by calling CLPPP at the number above or by checking our website at www.state.ma.us/dph/clppp. _ Requirements for Doing Deleadin Work High-risk deleading: If you need to or choose to have high-risk deleading work done, such as having lead paint stripped or scraped,you have to hire a deleading contractor. A list of deleading contractors is also enclosed. Just as in the case of inspectors,we recommend you check references and make sure that the deleader is still licensed. You can check on the license by calling the state Division of Occupational Safety(DOS)at 1-800-425-0004. Moderate-risk deleading: Before you or your agent can do moderate-risk deleading work, such as removing windows and woodwork,you have to take a course,pass it and get an authorization number from CLPPP. These courses are given by a number of groups and organizations at various places,times and prices.For a list of approved moderate risk training providers, call CLPPP at 1-800-532-9571 or check our website(address above). Remember that you still have to meet the deadlines in the Order. If a course for owners to do moderate-risk deleading is not available at a convenient time or place for you to meet the deadlines of this Order,you won't be able to do moderate-risk deleading work yourself.You then have to use other methods to delead, or hire a licensed lead-safe renovation contractor. To get a list of these contractors, or to check their licenses, call DOS at 1-800-425-0004. Low-risk deleading: Before you or your agent can do only low-risk deleading work, such as covering surfaces,you have to read the CLPPP low-risk booklet,take a self-corrected exam that you send in to CLPPP, and get an authorization number from CLPPP. If you want to encapsulate,you must first have a full lead inspection done on the property and then contact CLPPP to go over your inspection report and discuss surfaces that may be good for encapsulation. If encapsulation is a suitable option,you have to read CLPPP's encapsulation booklet,take a self-corrected exam that you send in to CLPPP, and get an authorization number from CLPPP. To get a free copy of the low-risk booklet,or the encapsulation training handbook, call CLPPP at 1-800-532-9571. Interim control work: If you or your agent will be doing other work for interim control, such as structural repairs and cleaning of leaded dust,you have to take safety steps and clean up in the way described in the CLPPP booklet for interim control. To get a copy of this interim control booklet, call CLPPP at the above number. Deleading work has to be carefully done to be safe. To protect the people who live in the home or apartment,you have to keep them out of the home or apartment, or area being worked on, in these ways: • All people and pets have to be temporarily moved from the home or apartment for the whole time that high-or moderate-risk deleading work is taking place inside the home or apartment. You have to provide the residents with a reasonable alternative place to live for this period. People and pets who have been temporarily moved from their home or apartment can only come back after a licensed private lead inspector or licensed private risk assessor says it is safe for them to return. The inspector or risk assessor does this after reinspecting the home, including taking dust samples to BOH Cover Revised 1-05 Page 2 of 3 assure that lead dust levels meet approved standards. This reinspection will be done at least three hours after deleading work is all done. • People and pets have to stay out of the work area while you or your agent does most low-risk deleading work or structural repairs or cleaning of lead dust. They also have to stay out of the work area while there's any deleading work in common areas outside the home or apartment, as long as they have another regular way(not a fire escape) to go in and out of the building. In these cases, people and pets can use the area once the work is done in the area and cleaned up. • People and pets have to stay out of the home or apartment for the workday while you or your agent apply encapsulants with an airless sprayer. They also have to stay out for the day during deleading in common areas when they do not have another regular way(not a fire escape)to go in and out of the building. When people and pets are out of their home or apartment for the day, it means they can come back to the home or apartment after cleanup at the end of the workday, and don't have to be out overnight. All work for deleading and interim control has to be neatly and properly done, in a professional way,and the home or apartment has to be returned to a condition that meets the requirements of the State Sanitary Code. Deleaded surfaces cannot be repainted until after they have passed reinspection by a licensed private lead inspector or risk assessor. You have to give written notice about common area lead paint violations to all other residents of the building. "Notice to Tenants of Lead Paint Hazards" is enclosed for that purpose. You also have to send a copy of the lead inspection report or lead inspection/risk assessment report and any reinspection reports to all mortgagees and lienholders of record. If your property has been previously deleaded,you may be eligible for a 30-day maintenance period.

This violation also constitutes a violation of the Lead Law, Massachusetts General Laws (MGL), chapter 111, section 197, and the Regulations for Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control, 105 CMR 460.000. If you already have a Letter of Compliance, please look to the last page of this Order and fill out the appropriate information. Conditions exist in this residence that may endanger and/or materially impair the health of the occupants of these premises. DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY The Director of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program declares that the presence of this violation of the Lead Law and the Regulations for Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control constitutes an emergency pursuant to the Lead Law, MGL chapter 111, section 198 and within the meaning of the Sanitary Code, 105 CMR 400.200(B). BOH OTC Revised 1105 Page 1 of 7 CORRECTION OF LEAD VIOLATIONS) The Lead Law, MGL c. 111, §§189A-199B,and the Department of Public Health's Regulations for Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control, 105 CMR 460.000, require the owner of a residential premises or dwelling unit built before 1978 in which a child under the age of six lives have lead paint violations either abated or contained (referred to as "deleading") for full compliance or brought under interim control. The steps that you must follow are in the "Order" section. The Lead Law, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development's Deleading Regulations, 454 CMR 22.00, as well as the Regulations for Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control require that residential deleading work be done by authorized people. The type of authorization will determine the method of deleading that can be done. There are three levels of deleading: High Risk Deleading Only licensed Deleaders can do high risk deleading activities. These activities include scraping, stripping, demolition, and making large amounts of loose paint intact. If this type of work is done on the interior of a unit,then the occupants must be temporarily relocated until the work is complete and has passed a reoccupancy reinspection. Moderate Risk Deleading Moderate risk authorized owners/agents and licensed lead safe renovators can do moderate (and low risk) deleading. These activities include removal and replacement of building components such as windows, and making a small amount of loose paint intact. If this type of work is done on the interior of a unit,then the occupants must be temporarily relocated until the work is complete and has passed a reoccupancy reinspection. Owners interested in becoming trained and authorized to do moderate risk deleading should contact CLPPP for more information. Low Risk Deleading Low risk authorized owners and agents can do some minor deleading activities such as covering surfaces with approved coverings and encapsulating approved surfaces. Owners interested in becoming trained and authorized to do low risk deleading should contact CLPPP for more information. These rules on who is authorized to perform what kind of deleading work apply whether the work is being done for full compliance or for interim control. An owner or owner's agent may also make structural repairs, as defined in 105 CMR 460.020, and clean leaded dust, as may be required for interim control. ORDER You are hereby ordered to remedy all violations of MGL c. 1 11, §197 and 105 CMR 460.000, as identified by a licensed private lead inspector. If you wish to pursue interim control,you must remedy all urgent lead hazards identified by a licensed private risk assessor. Whether you pursue full compliance or interim control, you must correct the relevant violations in accordance with the following schedule: BOH OTC Revised 1105 Page 2 of 7 Within sixty (60) days of your receipt of this Order, you must provide proof of the following: 1. A complete analysis of the property for lead hazards. Proof consists of one of the following: • A comprehensive initial lead inspection report done by a licensed private lead inspector. The inspector must inspect the interior of the unit and the common areas of the unit, including the exterior. o A comprehensive initial lead inspection and risk assessment done by a licensed private inspector who is also licensed as a risk assessor. This is only necessary if you have decided to pursue the option of Interim Control. For more information on the Interim Control program, please contact CLPPP. a For previously deleaded properties, a post compliance assessment determination done by a CLPPP code enforcement inspector. If you have a previously complied property and failed to return the last page of this Order within 14 days,then you may no longer be eligible for a maintenance period; however,you must still have the assessment done. Only a CLPPP code enforcement inspector can do this assessment. 2. An established deleading plan for who will be deleading and when the work will be done. Proof consists of at least one of the following: • A contract with a licensed deleader, licensed lead-safe renovator, or low risk authorized agent. To check on the license for deleaders and lead safe renovators, contact the Division of Occupational Safety at(617) 727-7047. To check on the authorization for low risk agents, such as vinyl siders or carpet layers, contact CLPPP at 800-532-9571. • If you or your agent will be doing the work, a copy of the authorization letter and a completed "Documentation of Training to be an Authorized Owner/Agent And Intention to Comply with the Order to Correct" form verifying that all work will be done within required timelines (see 90 day and 120 day requirements). This form is included in this package. Contracts with licensed/authorized people as well as an authorized owner or agent's completed"Documentation of Training to be an Authorized Owner/Agent And Intention to Comply with the Order to Correct"must also specify that the unit will meet acceptable lead dust levels under 105 CMR 460.170, as determined by the licensed lead inspector or risk assessor's dust wipe sampling. Should any of the dust samples fail to meet acceptable standards, the last authorized person who performed high- or moderate-risk work will be required to reclean the entire unit until all dust samples meet acceptable levels. If a low or moderate risk authorized person did the deleading and dust samples fail three times, a licensed deleader will be required to reclean the entire unit until all dust samples meet acceptable levels. BOH OTC Revised 1/05 Page 3 of 7 Within ninety (90) days of your receipt of this Order, you must provide proof that the following work was completed and reinspected (including passing dust wipes if required): 1. All high and moderate risk deleading on the interior of the unit must be done and must have passed reinspection, including dust wipes. Please note that if high or moderate risk activities will be done on the interior,then encapsulation cannot be done until after all of this high and moderate risk work has been reinspected and passed dust wipes. 2. Removal and replacement of doors, if chosen as the method of deleading, must be done and have passed reinspection. 3. Loose surfaces in the interior of the unit must have been made intact by the appropriately authorized person, been covered, or otherwise deleaded and reinspected. This includes loose surfaces being prepared for encapsulation(but DO NOT encapsulate these surfaces until after a successful reoccupancy reinspection). Making paint intact on the interior of a unit requires dust wipes at the reinspection. There cannot be any loose paint in the unit by the ninetieth day. 4. For those owners pursuing the Interim Control option, rules 1- 3 still apply; however only "urgent" lead hazards are required to be corrected. In addition, all required safeguards and structural_repairs_relevant to the interior of the unit must be complete and have passed reinspection and dust wipes, if required. Proof of this work consists of a copy of a reinspection report from a licensed lead inspector or risk assessor and copies of passing dust wipe results, if dust wipes were required. Copies of these documents must be provided to this agency by the 90th day. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days of your receipt of this Order, you must provide proof that the following work was completed and reinspected (including passing dust wipes if required): 1. Any low risk activities on the interior of the unit that were not done by the 90th day deadline must be complete. This includes encapsulation of interior surfaces that were previously made intact. 2. All required deleading in the interior common areas and on the exterior is done and has been reinspected, including passing dust wipes if they were required. 3. For those owners pursuing the Interim Control option, all of the "urgent" lead hazards must be corrected on the interior, common areas, and the exterior. Also, all required safeguards and structural repairs relevant to the interior common areas and the exterior must be complete and have passed reinspection. For Interim Control, a final set of dust wipes is required to be taken at the final reinspection.

The surfaces tested represent only a portion of those surfaces that would be tested to determine whether the premises are in compliance with the Massachusetts Lead Poisoning Prevention Law(Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 111, sections 189A through 199B). Serious lead poisoning hazards are created when materials containing lead paint are disturbed,unless proper safety guidelines are followed. Therefore, Massachusetts's law requires that: A licensed deleader must do all high risk deleading, such as scraping or the use of caustics. Property owners, their unlicensed agents, and licensed lead-safe renovators may do some deleading activities without a deleader's license.Before they do so,though, owners,their agents, and lead-safe renovators must become trained and receive authorization to perform these activities. Owners and their agents should contact the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program for more information on the specific activities they may perform and on how to become trained and authorized to perform these deleading activities. Lead-safe renovators are licensed by the Division of Occupational Safety(DOS)and should contact them for training and authorization requirements. Letters of Full Compliance will be withheld if unauthorized deleading has occurred. Any renovating or rehabilitation of premises containing dangerous levels of lead paint must be done in compliance with the procedures set forth in the Deleading Regulations issued by the Division of Occupational Safety(454 Code of Massachusetts Regulations 22.11), including sealing off the work area from adjacent areas, and performing a thorough clean-up. Any deleading work done on the basis of this report will not qualify the property owner for a state income tax credit,nor will the cost of such deleading be reimbursable under any state loan or grant program. In order to qualify for such programs,the premises must first be subject to a comprehensive lead paint inspection. If a child under six resides in this dwelling,the property owner may face criminal or civil liabilities unless all lead paint violations have been corrected. This lead report cannot assure that the property owner has met his or her obligations under the law. It is unlawful for rental property owners to use the presence of lead as the basis for discrimination against tenants or potential tenants with young children.

These violations may be a danger to the health of the people living in the home or apartment. Children younger than six years old are at the most risk of being lead poisoned. Lead can damage a child's growing brain and other parts of the body. Even small amounts of lead can harm a child. The owner of this home or apartment is responsible for removing or covering the lead violations. (This is called deleading.) Legal Rights and Responsibilities For these lead violations to be deleaded as quickly and safely as possible, it helps if both the owner and the tenant cooperate with each other. It is important that tenants and owners know their rights under state law. Because the laws are not simple, tenants may need to get legal help and/or legal advice before trying to use the rights found below. (1) Temporary Housing. (Massachusetts General Laws chapter 111, section 197) Tenants and their pets must be temporarily moved out of the home or apartment for the whole time that high-risk or moderate-risk deleading work is taking place inside the home or apartment. They cannot return until that work is done, the unit is cleaned up and a licensed lead inspector finds that the home or apartment is safe. The owner and tenants have to agree on a plan for temporary housing. If the tenants choose to move in with family or friends they do not have to pay rent to their landlord while they are out of their home. If they do not so choose, the owner finds the temporary housing and offers it to the tenant. The Law requires that owners pay any charges for the temporary housing the owner offers, and that tenants continue to pay their full normal rent during the time they live in the temporary housing. The temporary housing must be one that"does not cause undue economic or personal hardship to the tenant." If the temporary housing chosen by the owner would not cause a hardship, and the tenant still refuses to accept it, then the tenant has to find and arrange for his or her own temporary Tenants'Rights Revised 1-05 Page 1 of 3 1 housing during deleading. In this case,the tenant doesn't have to pay rent for the days he or she is not at home, but has to pay the cost of the temporary housing he or she has chosen. In this case, the owner has to pay the tenant any amount by which the cost of the temporary housing first chosen by the owner is more than the rent for that period. No matter where the tenant stays, the owner must pay reasonable moving costs. Tenants are advised to get legal help if they can not agree with the owner on a plan. (2) Protection from Retaliatory Rent Increase or Eviction. A property owner may not evict a tenant, or increase the rent or refuse to renew the lease of a tenant in retaliation(getting even) for the tenant reporting a suspected lead paint violation to a code enforcement agency such as the local board of health. If the rent is raised, or tenants get an eviction notice or their lease is not renewed within six months after the tenants called the board of health or got their home deleaded, a court can automatically find that the owner took this action in retaliation unless the owner can show clear evidence that he or she had other reasons, unrelated to the violations. An eviction based on not paying the rent is not retaliatory. Property owners who are found to have threatened or taken actions against tenants for exercising rights under the Lead Law are liable for damages under M.G.L. c. 186, s. 18 and M.G.L. c. 93A. A tenant who believes that the owner has retaliated against him or her because of lead violations may also file a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination(MCAD). (3) Rent Withholding. (Massachusetts General Laws chapter 239, section 8A) Tenants have a basic obligation to pay rent for their home or apartment to the owner. But, if lead violations are not being deleaded, tenants may have a right to hold back their rent payments. Tenants may take this step only if they were up to date in their rent at the time the owner was notified of the lead paint violations, and they did not begin withholding until this point. Owners have the right to go to court to evict tenants for not paying rent. To fully protect themselves against attempted evictions,tenants withholding rent for Lead Law violations may need to place withheld rent money in an escrow (separate savings) account, or may be ordered to do so by the court. If these conditions are met, tenants may not be evicted for not paying rent or for any other violation that is not the tenants' fault. Owners have the right to enter the tenants' home or apartment, if possible by appointment, but in any case in emergencies, to inspect for lead violations and to have them repaired. Tenants have a responsibility to cooperate with owners and allow all necessary access to their home or apartment for repairs. Tenants who do not cooperate with this right of entry may be subject to eviction. If rent was withheld, the court may order that all or part of the withheld rent be paid to the owner after the violations are deleaded. (4) Abatement of Rent or Damages. Even when the rent withholding statute does not apply, tenants may be able to have their rent reduced or get back rent they have already paid, if their home or apartment has Lead Law violations. The landlord always has a duty to provide housing that meets basic housing standards. A tenant can bring a court action for breach of this "implied warranty". (5) "Rent Receivership". (Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 111, sections 127C - 127J) Tenants'Rights Revised 1-05 Page 2 of 3 2 This law allows tenants, the state Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program or the local board of health to ask the court to find that Lead Law violations exist, and to allow rent to be paid into court rather than to the owner, to pay for necessary repairs. (6) Owner Liability: Compensatory and Punitive Damages. (Massachusetts General Laws chapter 111, section 199) The owner of a home or apartment built before 1978 is liable for damages to a child under age six who becomes lead poisoned as a result of the owner's failure to comply with the Lead Law and regulations. The owner of such home or apartment who is notified through an Order to Correct Violations or Order to Restore Interim Control Measures of lead violations, and who willfully fails to correct the violations, in accordance with the Lead Law and Regulations, is also subject to punitive damages, which are triple the actual damages found. NOTE: All the information presented above is only a summary of the law. Before you decide to withhold your rent or take any other legal action, it is advisable that you consult an attorney. If you can not afford to consult an attorney,you should contact the nearest Legal Services office. Repainting Violations of the Lead Law are also violations of the state Sanitary Code. Surfaces from which lead paint or other coatings have been removed have to be repainted under 105 CMR 410.020 of the state Sanitary Code. Deleaded surfaces have to be sealed and made easy to clean. Deleaded surfaces can only be repainted after the surfaces have been reinspected while bare and approved by a licensed lead inspector. Tenants may want to contact the owner if the required repainting is not done. If the owner does not respond, tenants should call the local board of health.

Children exposed to lead hazards are at risk of becoming lead poisoned. This disease can affect all parts of a young child's developing body, and in particular, can seriously and permanently hurt the brain,kidneys and nervous system. Even at lower levels of exposure, lead can cause children to have learning and behavioral problems. If you have a child under six years of age, it is important that he or she be regularly tested for lead poisoning, as the law requires. If your child has not been tested recently, you should ask your child's doctor or health care provider to test him or her. If you don't have a regular health care provider, you can call your local board of health, or the state Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program(CLPPP), at 1-800-532-9571, to find out where you can get your child tested for lead for free. Lead poisoning can only be detected by such testing. Since lead violations have been found in an apartment in this building, it is quite possible that your unit may have lead violations too. If you have a child under six years of age, you should ask the owner of your building about having your apartment inspected for lead paint. You can call your local board of health to check for lead(ask for a lead determination), or call CLPPP at 1-800-532-9571 for further advice. It is against state law for property owners to discriminate against tenants with children because of lead paint hazards in their apartment. If deleading of apartment will also include deleading of common hallways, staircases and porches of your building, you will get a written notice 10 days before any deleading will begin. While the deleading is being done, everyone must keep out of the areas being worked on. You have to use another way to go in and out of your building during this time. If your apartment is on the same floor and is in the work area as a common area in which deleading is being done, the person or persons doing the deleading work will protect your apartment too. They will be temporarily covering your doorway with thick plastic sheeting and taping it down with masking tape, so that fine lead dust can't be blown in, around, or under your door. If they have not properly covered areas to protect them from lead dust and debris from the deleading work,tell the owner of your building or call the state Division of Occupational Safety (DOS) at 1-800-425-0004, or CLPPP at 1-800-532-9571. If you don't have an alternative way of Tenant Hazards 1-05 Revised 1-05 Page 1 of 2 getting in and out of your building, talk to the owner of your building, or the person or people doing the deleading, and coordinate the work. Check your windowsills and doorways for any visible dust after deleading. Lead dust can be cleaned up with paper towels and a mixture of regular household detergent and water. If you notice lead dust from deleading in your apartment,tell the person doing the deleading, and the owner of your building. Deleading work that is done the right way should not result in lead contamination of your building. However, if you notice any lead paint dust or debris that has not been properly cleaned up at the end of the workday, tell the owner of your building. You can also call DOS at 1-800- 425-0004 or CLPPP at 1-800-532-9571 or the local health department.

That's why the Lead Law(Massachusetts General Laws chapter 111, sections 189A through 199B),the Regulations for Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control(105 Code of Massachusetts Regulations 460.000)and the Deleading Regulations(454 CMR 22.00)have rules for how deleading is done in homes and apartments. These rules say who can do the work, safety steps that have to be taken while the work is done, how to clean up after the work and how the work is finally approved. These rules are enforced by the Department of Public Health's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program(CLPPP),the Division of Occupational Safety(DOS)and local boards of health. Who can do deleading work Under these laws, only a licensed deleading contractor can do high-risk work, such as scraping or stripping lead paint,repairing more than a small amount of chipping or peeling lead paint so it can be repainted, and demolishing lead-painted building parts. Besides deleaders,property owners and their agents who take a one-day course can do moderate-risk deleading work, such as removing windows, woodwork, and just about any surface of a house, as well as repairing small amounts of chipping and peeling lead paint so it can be repainted. Lead-safe renovators trained and licensed by DOS may also be hired to do moderate-risk deleading work. Finally, low-risk deleading work can be done by all the people who can do high-or moderate-risk deleading work, and also owners and their agents, including contractors,who just complete the CLPPP low-risk booklet(and/or encapsulant booklet). Low-risk deleading means covering surfaces, applying encapsulants, capping baseboards,removing doors, cabinet doors and shutters, and applying exterior siding. Property owners and their agents may also do structural repairs and lead-dust cleaning for interim control. Staying out of the home or parts of the home during deleading To protect the people who live in the home or apartment being deleaded, the law also has rules about making sure they stay out of the home or apartment, or the area being worked on, in these ways: • All people and pets have to be temporarily moved from the home or apartment for the whole time that high-or moderate-risk deleading work is taking place inside the home or apartment. The owner has to provide residents with a reasonable alternative place to live for this time. Property owners and residents should refer to the CLPPP document, "Notice to Property Owners and Tenants: Tenants' Rights, Responsibilities, and Remedies"for more information on alternative housing during deleading. • People and pets have to stay out of the work area while most low-risk deleading work, Residential Deleading Advisory Revised 1-05 Pagel of 3 structural repairs or cleaning of lead dust, is taking place. They also have to stay out of the work area when deleading work of any kind is taking place in common areas outside the home or apartment, as long as they have another regular way(not a fire escape)to go in and out of the building. In these cases,people and pets can use the area once cleanup is completed after all the work in the area is done. e People and pets have to stay out of the home or apartment for the day during application of encapsulants with an airless sprayer. They also have to stay out for the day during deleading of common areas when they do not have another regular way to go in and out of the building. When people and pets are out of their home or apartment for the day, it means they can come back to the home or apartment after cleanup at the end of the workday, and don't have to be out overnight. It is very important that people whose home or apartment is being deleaded think carefully about what they will need during the time they are away from home,and take it with them.No one can return to a home or apartment while deleading that requires them to be out is still taking place, and has not been properly cleaned up. Property owners and residents must take deleading safety rules seriously and cooperate fully to make sure everyone is protected. No one should interfere with the work being done safely. Getting ready for deleading to begin People who live in a home or apartment in which any kind of deleading work is going to be taking place have to get written notice at least 10 days before the start of this work. This applies also to other residents of a building, if any deleading work will take place in common areas.Before deleading work begins, all household possessions of every type should be removed or stored in plastic bags in non- work areas. Closets and cabinets to be deleaded must be emptied.As a last resort, large furniture and belongings not removed from the work area should be put in plastic bags and left in the center of the room,where they will be covered with heavy plastic by the person doing the deleading. The reason for this is to protect everything in the home or apartment from lead dust contamination. Belongings must also be protected before an owner or agent performs low-risk deleading work, or other work that may be required for interim control, but the precautions are not as extensive for this type of work. In general, it is recommended that furniture and belongings be moved outside the work area, or covered with thick plastic and sealed with duct tape, before low-risk deleading begins. Cleanup after deleading and returning home A final cleanup will be done at least two hours after all the interior high-or moderate-risk deleading work is done. This delay is to make sure that fine lead dust will settle out of the air and be removed in the final cleanup. People and pets who were temporarily moved to alternative housing can return only after a lead inspector or risk assessor says that the home is safe. The inspector decides this after doing a reoccupancy reinspection, which includes an analysis of lead dust levels within the home. Residents should leave a phone number where they can be reached so that the inspector or risk assessor can call them and let them know when it is safe to return home. If the property owner or agent is going to be doing low-risk deleading work or other work for interim control after the residents return home,they will be taking some safety steps for this, as described in the CLPPP low-risk booklet. They will also be doing a cleanup when they are done with the low-risk work.An inspector or risk assessor will return at the completion of all the work and do a reinspection to check the owner's or agent's work. Temporary ways to protect children from lead poisoning Residential Deleading Advisory Revised 1-05 Page 2 of 3 Children exposed to lead paint hazards are at risk of becoming lead poisoned. This disease can affect every part of a young child's developing body, and in particular, can seriously and permanently hurt the brain, kidneys and nervous system. Even at lower levels of exposure, lead can cause children to have learning and behavioral problems. The best and only permanent way to protect children from lead poisoning is deleading. But even before that process begins,there are some important steps that can be taken to protect young children from lead poisoning.Your lead inspector's or risk assessor's advice should be carefully followed because he or she knows your child's home. As part of their normal behavior,young children place things in their mouths, especially toys and their own fingers. If there are lead paint chips and dust in your home,they may be picked up by your child's fingers, as well as by toys, foods and pacifiers that fall on the floor,and end up in your child's mouth. It is especially important to wash your child's toys and to keep your child's hands clean, particularly before meals and at bedtime. Areas of peeling or chipping lead paint and dust should be cleaned. Wet wiping with paper towels and a general household detergent is best. Do not use your household vacuum cleaner to clean up paint chips, because this will only send fine lead dust into the air. Windows, windowsills and the floors under windows in particular are often areas from which children can get exposed to lead. Sills should be cleaned regularly if paint dust or flakes collect there. If windows are in poor condition,the best thing to do may be to keep the lower sash closed and open only the upper sash for ventilation. (This also protects your child from accidentally falling from the window.) Contact paper may be applied to areas of peeling paint on windowsills,walls or other surfaces as a temporary measure. Sometimes furniture can be moved to block children from deteriorating paint or plaster. If deteriorating paint or plaster is in the child's bedroom, use another room as the child's room, if possible. Think of those parts of the home where your child spends most of his or her time, and try to keep them as clean as you can before your home is deleaded. Lead paint can also get into soil. If the outside of your home has chipping or peeling paint, do not let your child play in the soil closest to the house.Be careful to wipe your shoes off on a mat before walking into your house, so you don't track in soil from these areas.Follow the advice of your lead inspector or risk assessor about soil on the property. For more information about how the deleading process works, and how to protect your children from lead poisoning, call the toll-free CLPPP information line, at 1(800) 532-9571.

How do I get the board of health to inspect my apartment? Page 1 of 1 Area of Law How do I get the board of health to inspect my apartment? Living Conditions Language QuestionlPregunta English How do I get the board of health to inspect my apartment? Last Updated Answer 11/28/2005 09:52 AM In Massachusetts, tenants have the right to have their apartments inspected by a health inspector. Housing inspectors are required to inspect your apartment upon your request.' Before you call a housing inspector, you should make sure you have given your landlord a chance to make the repairs. You should also be sure that you have cleaned up any mess that your family may have made before the inspector comes to the apartment. Housing inspectors inspect properties to see whether they comply with the state sanitary code and local health ordinances. If there are violations, an inspector has the power to order your landlord to make repairs within a certain amount of time.2 Often this results in a resistant landlord fixing a problem. To request an inspection, call your local board of health. When you call, be sure to make a definite appointment for the housing inspector to come to your home. If you have serious problems in your apartment, like no heat or no hot water, tell the inspector. In Massachusetts, the inspector must come to do an inspection within 24 hours of your request.3 Inspectors are required to use their"best efforts"to inspect at a time"mutually satisfactory"to you and them.4 An inspection should be done within five days of your request.5 Before the housing inspector comes, you should prepare a written list of everything you want the inspector to check. You can use our Housing Code Checklist to help you make this list. The list will help you remember specific problems. It will also help make sure that the inspector does not skip any violations.

Shaun (68.156.43.33)-05.15.05 20:39:22 I found a small mushroom sticking out from the grout in my shower.Gross! I live in Florida and everyone talks about mold and how it can just take over. I am thinking about getting a profesional in here to rip up some tiles and destroy what I suspect to be a mold problem in the underlying surfaces. Here is a post I read from another site... C o ..it probably means that the plaster behind the tiles is seriously damp. Fungi will only produce the mushrooms M (basidiocarps in posh)when there has been enough growth of the main part(or mycelium)to make the organism think e that producing spores(what the"mushroom is for) is worthwhile.These basidiocarps can be produced very rapidly(like t overnight). What probably really wants doing is stripping off all the tiles and drying out the walls,then retiling and grouting with that anti-fungal grouty stuff that Unibond advertise on the telly. Failing that you could leave a fan heater in the room on full blast(with the extractor fan on too)to push some dry air through.You might have to do this for more than 24 hours.Then you could regrout with the antifungal stuff. c Tennessee(12.151.206.18)-05.26.05 21:45:33 0 M I found what i think is a mushroom growing in my bedroom which is right beside the bathroom where we had a shower e leak.

Page 3 of 27 Anonymous(hidden 16.reimanpublications.com) - 07.07.05 19:06:52 C I cannot believe others have this. I felt like we had reached the depths of slovelyness or something. My husband had told m me we had mushrooms in the shower and that he saved one for me to see. It was a perfect specimen, a few inches tall. I escraped it up with a piece of cardboard and threw it away. Sounds like we can expect more to come back. I'll certainly n take a picture next time, but I was in a hurry to get to work and the cleaning lady was coming this morning and I didn't t want her to see it. I couldn't help telling her,though. She was appalled and said we better start spraying Tilex on after each shower. But sometimes the cat likes to get in the stall and drink water. I do think our tile needs redone.

What C this likely means is that you have a wood 2x4 or wood support behind the tiles that has been fully colonized by the mmushroom fungus,and the fungus fruit,or mushroom, is growing and attracted to the moisture in your bathroom. e The fungus will eat away at the wood and make it structurally weak unless you dry it out.You have one of two options. n You can perform a good caulking job to deny the fungus of moisture,thus killing it off eventually, or you can tear down t the walls and replace the infested wood. If you do neither eventually the wood will become brittle worse than if termites had eaten it. The good news is oyster mushrooms are edible, and tasty! boom boom (d47-69-115-244.try.wideopenwest.com) -01.08.06 18:13:00 Blieve me i know how u people feel, i just painted my bathreoom walls and there goes a mushroom on my wall breaking c the paint off. its kinda sick in a way. i thought my bathroom was nasty until i came on the comp and looked it up and all m of u people have the same thing. ive tried every thing i can possibly think of and nothings worked. m if any body has any suggestions please e-mail me at ninaxroxl3@yahoomail.com e n t thankyou Boom Boom t Caroline (hse-mtl-ppp2305.gc.sympatico.ca)-01.30.06 04:39:01 0 m Hi I just found a huge mushroom at the corner of our fireplace,which we do not use.

Was in the bathroom this morning doing my"job", picked up my newspaper from the floor and noticed an orange mushroom with a long skinny stalk that was about 4 or 5 0 inches tall growing from right under the toilet. I totally freaked out, I went into the kitchen and told my wife to go see it, m and warned my 5 1/2 year old son not to look at it. She removed it for me and noticed spores all over the floor under the M toilet. I am sure it was not there a few days ago.

It also might explain why my 5 1/2 year old son t sneezed the entire time he was taking a bath last night.Three years ago we redid the entire bathroom,took it to the studs, replaced all fixtures and replaced the floor. I have suspected that the toilet seal might be leaking for a while, and the huge mushroom confirms my fears. I have a plumber scheduled for tomorrow to check the seal.

I found a few e sights that have some products that they sell and swear that they work but I can only give you the names of them and t hope that they work.The first one is called mold blaster.then mold blocker is used after its gone so it wont come back. They also talked about using a detergent with borate-based ingredient in it or biocides. I hope some of this will help someone out there,I too am somewhat relieved that therer are so many of us with the same problem.Good luck to you all!!!!!!! c Anonymous(cache-rtc-ab06.proxy.aol.com) -07.22.06 18:22:56 0 T my fungus is a waxy, pale yellow and looks like pasta shells. it is at the base of the wall behind my toilet and is also near e our cats' litter box. i am so relieved that i am not the only person with fungus growing in my home. i will try salt as the c vinegar and the bleach have not done much so far. i really hate fungus.

If you have this M problem you have a leak somewhere nearby.The only way to stop the mushrooms and fungus or mold from coming back m is to find the leak and fix it. It could be inside a wall,in the wood,down the basement,or anywhere else for that matter.It e could be something simple or it could be very toxic and harmful to you,your family,or even your home. If you or your t family members are having respiratory symptoms that just started when you noticed the mushrooms it could be from mold somewhere in your home and this person could be sensitive to it. I could not believe what I was reading about all the different kinds of mold/fungus/mushrooms.

I have found out that it's best to stop using bleach and house hold chemicals, or at least use sparingly(once every two 0 weeks)....The shrooms grow tolerance to the chemicals. Ha, I really am seriouse, it just sounds conspiratorial. mIf you are sick.... sore throat allergy symptoms etc it may be mold and mildew which are common with shrooms and are e known to cause health problems. n Sealing off the leak is the first step,then get a dehumidifier(it really work and costs from 150-2000 depening on how t large an area),), perhaps an air purifier as well,sealing over the grout is a great idea,the grout doesn't stop the shrooms and seems to give them a nice nest. Also if you have a crawl space under your house,you may be doing a larger battle. Watch out for black mold it's air born,so you can get it from your neighbor. It causes huge health problems, don't freak out not all black mold is the toxic kind.You would have to get it tested to find out.

"Curious", I first thought. I pulled it up, played scientist under the magnifying glass for a while, lost interest,then discarded it.Then grew another in almost the same spot.Then another. Each time I have removed them,another would appear. Now, I was more than curious but alarmed. (I must be a slow learner.)I told my husband I thought perhaps we had some water damage in the walls which had caused them. He played it off like I c didn't know what I was talking about. I told him it could possibly lead to mold. I have had serious sinus infections lately M and have been tired a lot. I've even had nasal surgery. I know these can be symptoms of mold or fungus circulating in m the air. I have also noticed small black spots along the floorboards and down a seam in a corner behind the curtains in e our bedroom. I hope this is not what is termed "black mold."We need to have this situation looked into soon,soon and t very soon! I KNOW of what I speak, but this man doesn't want the expense of checking it out and ridding ourselves of the problem. I've been wanting to sell the house, but it will never sell with these problems going on. He won't say so, but I think my husband has treated the carpet with something in an attempt to SELF-SOLVE the situation (Cheapo), because now instead of mushrooms growing,there seems to be some type of white grangular material spreading in that area. Looks and feels like plaster of paris or chalk. Could it be lime?I'm beside myself. My health problems are becoming worse. I can't stay here. How do I get this man to understand the seriousness of this situation?Will it take a divorce?Oh, yeah, even HE is having respiratory problems, but he won't admit it. Nothing that a little Claritin can't solve.

Who knew this phenomenon could actually happen indoors? So I noticed some damp carpet(wall-to-wall) near my living room radiator in my apartment.

Pale yellow slimy feeling and they give off a spore like white powder that has covered everything around them in a 5 foot radius.There's a leak in this basement due to a clogged up French drain and this floor is a false floor meaning its hollow. Made of cement,as the floor in most basements are,then 2x4's,then plywood and finally a top layer of linoleum. I'm guessing we are gonna have to first destroy all the visual fungus and mold. Install a couple dehumidifiers. Get the French drain fixed,then 0 remove the entire floor until its just bare cement,clean and disinfect the whole area with some sort of super toxic anti- m fungal spray.Then use that sealer paint and make sure all the leaks are taking care of.Then add a new inorganic floor, M tile or linoleum I'm guessing,this time right on top of the cement. and i guess to be safe check the area forever for future n growth and continue to use a dehumidifier. Was it worth having a false floor put into this newly finished basement,just so t there feet wouldn't be cold when they hung out down here, no.One of their dogs has contracted a pretty serious cough and I am also feeling a little something myself. If you guys ever see anything that may be mold or a fungus I would suggest taking care of it in every way you can or just calling in a professional. It may seem costly at the time but if you let it go it will just end up costing a lot more and who knows,someone could get seriously hurt.------BY THE WAY pouring bleach, hydrogen peroxide, salt and TKO down a tiny window into a world of a bigger problem which is undoubtedly growing inside your home is NOT going to fix the problem altogether.You are just delaying the inevitable.As long as there is something to feed on (wood mostly)and occasional moisture these spores are going to survive to grow again, not to mention TRAVEL TO OTHER PARTS OF YOUR HOME. Don't be a dummie.And remember,do not eat or smoke the mushrooms... sell them to your friends to eat and smoke em. House Mushrooms,a Global Phenomenon... (219.142.228.200)-04.09.08 14:30:43 I'm currently living overseas in China. My girlfriend just pointed out to me that we had something poking out of the drywall above the baseboard in the hallway of our apartment. When I say poking out I mean that the mushroom actually pushed itself through the drywall and broke-out so to speak.There are drywall "crumbs"all over the place.At first I thought they were insect larvae or something because I couldnt see the stems.Sprayed some bleach on them but... C M I really don't want to deal with it,so maybe we should just move or something and let the landlord figure it out on his m own haha. e t Just watched the movie "Shrooms"this week too(horrible movie btw if any of you end up checking it out). But seems to me like if you have mushrooms growing anywhere in your house you probably have a mold network connected to it under your floor, behind your wall, in your ceiling, etc. and should probably get it checked out, and while bleach,salt,TKO, etc. may treat the symptoms there's obviously a bigger problem that needs to be looked at/solved.

However,you should always speak with the inspector if you have any questions before you delead your home. SIDE Refers to A,B,C,or D side of the building or room.See the diagram on the cover sheet.The"A"side of the building or room is the side facing the street which gives the property its address(usually,it is the front of the building).Keeping your back to this street,from the"A"side move clockwise to the"B"side on your left,the"C"side opposite you,and the"D"side to the right. _.SURFACE Refers to the building component(s)being tested.Generally,each separate component is considered one `::? >;• surface.Some surfaces may be made up of more than one part.For example,"Baseboard" may refer to four separate pieces of wood(one running along each wall),but is still considered one surface. LEAD The actual lead result.Each surface tested must have a result recorded in the"Lead column. • A number shows that.the surface was tested with an XRF analyzer.A number(or average number) equal.to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2 is a dangerous level of lead. • A"pos"or"neg"shows that the surface was tested with sodium sulfide."Pos" means that there is a dangerous level of lead. • "N/A" means that the inspector was not able to test the surface.Unless the owner can get a sample to test,the inspector must assume the surface contains lead and require it to be deleaded,if necessary. • "Metal"means that a metal surface was not tested and only needs to be intact.If the surface is a metal handrail,metal window sill,or metal railing cap,it needs to be deleaded if it is equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2,"pos,"or is"N/A." TYP..E::OF Not all lead paint must be deleaded.This column tells you IF and WHY a surface needs deleading. HAZARD • "M/I" circled means that the surface is a moveable/impacted surface and must be deleaded in its entirety. • "A/M"circled means that the surface is"accessible mouthable"and.must be deleaded to a minimum of five feet high,four inches in from the edge or corner. • "L"circled means that the surface is loose and must,at minimum,be made intact. • If more than one choice is circled,the rules for deleading may change depending upon what method of deleading you choose.Speak to the inspector for more information. • "N/A" means the inspector was unable to determine if the surface was loose or intact.The person doing the deleading must check this surface and follow all the rules for deleading.Speak to the inspector for more information. • If nothing is circled or marked"N/A"then it is likely the surface does not need deleading.Speak to the inspector for more information. C.OM.ME(+JT;S Any additional observations or test results made by the inspector that affect the inspection or deleading. DATE"DELEAD. The date that the lead inspector checks the surface and finds that it has been successfully deleaded and passes reinspection. METHDELEAD The kind of deleading done to bring a surface into compliance.Refer to Deleading codes in the Key on the OD cover page of the inspection report. LOOSMEASURE:. The amount of loose paint on a surface as measured by the lead inspector."N/A" means that the inspector E was not able to measure the loose paint,but has determined that it is more than the cut-off. Surfaces listed PAINT."(IN' here,whether with a measurement or with an'°N/A notation,.can only be made intact by a licensed "EXCLU-DED deleader. Note that there are still other low and moderate-risk deleading activities that may be done by SURFA_GE9" someone who is not a licensed deleader. 130X):`, ... : . ..
