Health Inspector Director of Public Health cc: Susan Rask, Barnstable County Health Dept. i DISCLAIMER CONCERNING LEAD DETERMINATION REPORT Attached is a copy of the lead determination report. The information contained in this report concerning the presence or absence of lead paint does not constitute a comprehensive lead paint inspection. The surfaces tested represent only a portion of those surfaces which would be tested to determine whether the premises are in compliance with the Massachusetts Lead Poisoning Prevention Law (Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 773 Sections 190-199. If a child under six resides or will reside in this dwelling, the 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 • e law. or her obligations under th his g 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. Serious lead poisoning hazards are created when materials containing lead paint are disturbed, unless proper safety guidelines are followed: Therefore, Massachusetts law requires that: Any deleading work done on the premises must be done by a certified or licensed deleader. Any renovating or rehabilitation of premises containing dangerous levels of lead paint must be done in compliance with the procedures set forth in the Regulations issued by the Department of Labor and Industries (454 CMR 22. 11) , including sealing off the work area from the adjacent areas, and using a HEPA vacuum and TSP for final cleanup. Any deleading work done on the basis of this report will not qualify the owner or occupant for a state tax credit, nor will the cost of such deleading be reimbursable under any state loan or grant programs. In order to qualify for such programs, the premises must first be subject to a comprehensive lead paint inspection. 97Z 4 rl' C Ca2;[a^lLL1YJG���/i,',","�"�.�,7L,L,'l[ILUL R/llL�1 iG!U7tLl/L UUYJILC� Y4lj& Wiplam F.Wald �7"""�✓ A=- U • G'hNdhood Load Go"MO � cftntli �� Polso�ln� �+ �+ Prrvwttbn Progtsm , WAdRTNIWIV J St oati,J&rk'4 OOdt014./ W 02130-JV7 800-532.9571 somtary David K Muglpan 07-&M-8700, 9iW&7-s22-673s commwelorw s LEAD DETERMI ATI NS REPORT FORM Date of Dete ina l� o Inspector: License #: Z I 119tflz Method Used: Sodium Sulfide Expiration date: X-Ray Fluorescence Model: Serial : MOV/ Property Address: 51 o Apt. n Description of Proper y: Single family Multi-family # units Garage Fence Other structures Age of Property: X Pre-1978 Post-1978 � Occupant: Occupants under s e rs of age: Q Q� DOB: U V 70 Cy DOB: DOB: OB: vivil Occupant' s Telephone: b Property owner's) : c owner' s Address: D E owner' s Telephone: An X-ray fluorescence reading greater than 1. 3 mg/cm2 or a gray or black reaction to sodium sulfide indicates an illegal level of lead and constitutes a positive determination.

The Housing Authority has solicited lead abatement proposals from local contractors for the property. The State Executive Office of Communities & Development (EOCD) has been notified of the situation and has assigned the Authority an architect through their office to visit the property, review proposals and help put together a successful plan for the lead abatement. We share your concerns about the moral and legal obligations which we as a Housing Authority have with respect to our responsibility to provide decent and safe affordable housing to our low-income residents. We are confident that with EOCD's assistance, we will be able to put together an effective plan to delead this property and thus be in full compliance. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have with regards to this matter. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation. Sincerely, Thomas K. Lynch Executive Director Equal Housing Opportunity Agency
