Detroit — Ch. 8 Art. XV Div. 3 Requirements for Rental Property (Registration + Lead) § 8-15-94
Post-remedy clearance report
Operative Text
(a) After lead abatement or interim controls are performed, the owner of rental property shall have a clearance examination on the property and obtain a post-remedy clearance report, as defined in Section 8-15-8 of this Code. (b) In order to obtain lead clearance for the rental property, the owner shall provide the post-remedy clearance report to the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department.
Detroit's Ch. 8 Art. XV Div. 3 § 8-15-94 establishes a two-step verification process that follows any lead abatement or interim control work on rental property. First, a clearance examination must be conducted and a post-remedy clearance report—as defined elsewhere in the Code—must be obtained. Second, that report must be submitted to the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department before the property can be considered to have achieved lead clearance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8-15-94, rental property owners who have completed lead abatement or interim controls are responsible for arranging a clearance examination and securing the resulting post-remedy clearance report. Compliant operators then deliver that report to the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department to formally close out the lead-clearance process. Keeping copies of the report and any submission confirmation is a common practice for maintaining a complete compliance record.

Section 8-15-94 gives tenants a basis for understanding that lead work on their rental unit is not considered complete until the owner has obtained a post-remedy clearance report and filed it with the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department. If a tenant believes this step has been skipped after lead abatement or interim controls were performed, they may consider contacting the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department to inquire about the property's clearance status. Tenant-rights organizations in Detroit can also help residents understand what documentation they may be entitled to see and what options exist if the clearance process appears incomplete.
