Has Your Home Been Deleaded?
December 16th, 2009
I came across this website today that keeps a record of any deleading records on file with the state of Massachusetts.
In attempting to find the government office that would have the actual deleading certificates of compliance, I got the expected runaround. First, all sites that referred me to the lead paint programs had a disconnected phone number. When I reached somebody, they put me into a voicemail system where I left a message. I am on day 2 with no phone call returned.
The deleading programs in Massachusetts are some of the strictest created, and the federal guidelines followed this state’s lead. But as usual, the implementation of a good idea falls on its face when put in the hands of government. Budgets have to get cut, they slash these types of departments!
Well, at least the website has good records of dates and inspectors. I hope this will be enough for my buyer, because I am not expecting a call back from the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP)!
