Operative Text
This chapter applies to all persons who perform renovation, remodeling, or repainting for compensation in target housing or a child-occupied facility.
Iowa Admin. Code r. 481—469 § 481—469.1 establishes the scope of a regulatory chapter governing renovation, remodeling, and repainting work done for pay in housing built before lead-paint restrictions and in facilities regularly used by young children. The rule sets the boundary for who and what falls under the chapter's requirements—namely, any person or entity receiving compensation for such work in those specific settings. It does not apply to unpaid or owner-performed work outside those defined categories.

Under Iowa Admin. Code r. 481—469 § 481—469.1, property owners who hire contractors to renovate, remodel, or repaint target housing or child-occupied facilities should be aware that those contractors are subject to this chapter's requirements. Compliant operators typically verify that any hired renovation professional is operating within the scope of applicable lead-safe work rules before work begins. Keeping records of contractor qualifications and the nature of the work performed is a common practice among operators managing older housing stock.
