24 C.F.R. § 35.1110
§ 35.1110 Notices and pamphlet. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
(a) Notice. In cases where evaluation or hazard reduction is undertaken, each public housing agency (PHA) shall provide a notice to residents in accordance with § 35.125. A visual assessment alone is not considered an evaluation for purposes of this part. (b) Lead hazard information pamphlet. The PHA shall provide the lead hazard information pamphlet in accordance with § 35.130.
Under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.1110, when a public housing agency (PHA) carries out lead-based paint evaluation or hazard reduction activities, it is required to deliver a formal notice to residents following the standards set out in § 35.125. The rule clarifies that a simple visual check does not qualify as an 'evaluation' for these purposes, meaning the notice requirement is not triggered by a visual assessment alone. Separately, PHAs must also distribute the federally prescribed lead hazard information pamphlet to residents in accordance with § 35.130.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Public housing agencies operating under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.1110 generally ensure that any time a qualifying evaluation—beyond a mere visual assessment—or hazard reduction work is initiated, compliant notice is delivered to residents per § 35.125. Operators also maintain a supply of the lead hazard information pamphlet and distribute it as required by § 35.130. Keeping documentation of both the notices issued and pamphlets distributed is a common practice among compliant PHAs to demonstrate adherence to these requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of public housing have a right under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.1110 to receive proper notice when their PHA conducts a lead-based paint evaluation or hazard reduction, as well as to receive the lead hazard information pamphlet. If a resident believes these materials were not provided as required, that concern can generally be raised with the PHA's management, a local HUD field office, or a tenant-rights organization familiar with federal housing regulations. Understanding what triggers the notice requirement—particularly that a visual assessment alone does not count as an evaluation under this section—can help residents recognize when their rights under § 35.1110 apply.
