A landmark law to proactively address lead-based paint in Louisville rental properties is taking effect this month, aiming to protect thousands of children from a potent neurotoxin.
The ordinance requires property owners to register rental properties built before 1978 into a Lead-Safe Housing Registry. These housing units must complete a lead-hazard risk assessment with a state-certified inspector, and property owners will have to address any lead hazards or face penalties.
