Plain English

Under Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-811, owners of affected residential properties in Maryland were required to register those properties with the state Department of the Environment by December 31, 1995, or at the time of a qualifying election under § 6-803(a)(2). Registration requires submitting detailed information on official forms, including owner identity, property address, insurance coverage, property manager contacts, construction era, occupancy history, and lead-hazard treatment records. Most of this registration information is available to the public, though the Department is generally prohibited from releasing a compiled inventory or list of all properties owned by a single owner, except to confirm whether that owner has met percentage-of-inventory requirements under § 6-817.

For Property Managers

Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-811 sets out the registration obligations that compliant owners of affected properties fulfill with the Maryland Department of the Environment. A compliant operator submits the required forms with accurate details covering ownership, property management, insurance policies, construction date, occupancy changes, and any lead-hazard treatments or compliance certifications obtained under §§ 6-815 and 6-819. Keeping registration information current—particularly after changes in occupancy, treatment activity, or insurance coverage—reflects the ongoing nature of the disclosure obligations this provision establishes.

For Tenants

Md. Code Ann., Env. §§ 6-801 to 6-852 § 6-811 gives tenants and the general public access to most of the information an owner submits during registration, including details about lead-hazard treatments and compliance certifications for a specific property. Because this registration data is open to the public, tenants can request it from the Maryland Department of the Environment to learn about a property's lead-hazard history and whether risk-reduction standards have been addressed. Tenants who have concerns about a property's registration status or lead-hazard compliance may consider contacting the Department directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
