24 C.F.R. § 35.710
§ 35.710 Notices and pamphlet. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
(a) Notice. If evaluation or hazard reduction is undertaken, each owner shall provide a notice to occupants in accordance with § 35.125. A visual assessment alone is not considered an evaluation for the purposes of this part. (b) Lead hazard information pamphlet. The owner shall provide the lead hazard information pamphlet in accordance with § 35.130.
Under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.710, when a property owner undertakes an evaluation or hazard reduction related to lead, occupants must receive a formal notice meeting the standards set out in § 35.125. The rule also requires that owners distribute the federally approved lead hazard information pamphlet as described in § 35.130. Importantly, a visual assessment alone does not count as an 'evaluation' for triggering the notice requirement under this part.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Compliant operators working under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.710 generally ensure that any time lead evaluation or hazard reduction work is initiated, affected occupants receive a written notice that satisfies the content and timing standards referenced in § 35.125. They also distribute the official lead hazard information pamphlet to occupants as outlined in § 35.130, keeping records of delivery. Operators are aware that conducting only a visual walkthrough does not satisfy the definition of an evaluation under this provision, so the notice obligation is not triggered by a visual check alone.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.710, occupants have a right to receive both a formal notice and the lead hazard information pamphlet whenever their landlord conducts a qualifying lead evaluation or hazard reduction at the property. If you believe these materials were not provided as required, you may raise the omission with your local HUD field office, a housing authority, or a tenant-rights organization familiar with federal lead disclosure rules. Consulting a tenant-rights group can help you understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available under § 35.710 and related provisions.
