24 C.F.R. § 35.300
§ 35.300 Purpose and applicability. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
The purpose of this subpart D is to establish procedures to eliminate as far as practicable lead-based paint hazards in a residential property that receives more than $5,000 annually per project in project-based assistance on or after September 15, 2000, under a program administered by a Federal agency other than HUD.
Section 35.300 establishes the scope and intent of Subpart D of 24 CFR Part 35, which sets out procedures aimed at reducing lead-based paint hazards in residential properties to the extent practicable. The rule applies specifically to properties that receive more than $5,000 per year in project-based federal assistance through programs run by federal agencies other than HUD, and only covers assistance provided on or after September 15, 2000. The provision does not itself mandate specific remediation steps but frames the overarching goal and coverage of the subpart that follows.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers whose residential properties receive more than $5,000 annually in project-based federal assistance from a non-HUD federal agency on or after September 15, 2000 fall within the scope of § 35.300 and the broader Subpart D framework. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full set of procedures outlined in Subpart D, since § 35.300 signals that lead-based paint hazard elimination is the governing objective for all requirements that follow. Maintaining documentation of the type and amount of federal assistance received helps operators determine whether this subpart applies to their properties.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 35.300 establishes that tenants living in residential properties receiving more than $5,000 per year in project-based federal assistance from a non-HUD agency may have protections under Subpart D's lead-based paint hazard procedures. If a tenant believes their property qualifies under § 35.300 but hazard-reduction procedures are not being followed, general enforcement paths can include raising the issue with the relevant federal agency administering the assistance program or contacting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Understanding whether a property falls within this provision's scope is often a useful first step in exploring what lead-based paint protections may apply.
