Application Approval: After the initial application is received and reviewed by the intake specialist, qualifying applicants will receive attachments to complete before the application’s final approval.
Lead Inspection/Risk Assessment: A licensed Lead Risk Assessor will perform the risk assessment of the property. This takes an average of 3 – 4 hours in the home. A lead inspection/risk assessment report is completed identifying potential paint, soil, and dust hazards. The report is then sent to the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office for review and approval.
Pre-Construction Walk-through: A licensed Lead Abatement Contractor registered with the program walks through the home to determine the cost of the project.
Contract Signing: The property owner signs a legal contract and submits the match portion to start project work. Funds may be secured from other local sources.
Work Completion: To protect the health of occupants during abatement work, relocation is required until after clearance is achieved.
