For the purpose of this chapter, "dwelling" shall include any
facility or building used as a day-care or child-care facility. No
day-care or child-care facility shall be approved by the Codes Administrator
for occupancy unless the applicant provides test results evidencing
that the property contains no paint containing lead. To facilitate

appropriate regulations.
[Ord. No. 6-1995]
Any lead source shall be considered a health hazard to children
under seven years of age, pregnant women or to other persons who have
demonstrated an evidence of lead poisoning.
[Ord. No. 6-1995]
The Bureau of Codes Enforcement may, on a case-by-case basis,
approve an alternative procedure for abatement of a lead paint violation,
provided that the owner submits a written description of an alternative
procedure to the Bureau and demonstrates that compliance with City
procedures is not practical or feasible in the individual case and
that the proposed alternative procedure provides the equivalent control
and removal.
The methods used for the removal of lead paint shall not present
a hazard to health from fumes, dust or vapors by inhalation or absorption
through the skin and mucous membranes and shall be in accordance with
all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, safety standards and
practices of the City and state and federal agencies.
