Cal. Civ. Code § 460.770
Reports to Director of State Program
Operative Text
Each local code enforcement agency shall submit a quarterly report to the Director in a form and
manner determined by the Director, by the fifth working day of the following quarter. The report shall
be signed by the head of such agency, and shall list the status of all uncorrected lead violations at the
end of the previous quarter, all violations corrected during such quarter, legal action taken regarding
each uncorrected violation and the procedural history and current status of such legal action.Under 105 Mass. Code Regs. 460.770, every local code enforcement agency in Massachusetts is required to file a quarterly report with the Director of the state lead-paint program. Each report must be submitted by the fifth working day after a quarter ends, bear the signature of the agency head, and document outstanding lead violations, violations resolved during the quarter, and any legal proceedings tied to unresolved violations. The provision establishes a structured accountability mechanism so the state can track the progress of lead-hazard enforcement across all localities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to lead-paint enforcement actions should be aware that under 105 Mass. Code Regs. 460.770, local agencies are required to report the status of every uncorrected violation—and any related legal action—to the state Director each quarter. A compliant operator generally resolves identified lead violations promptly, since outstanding violations will appear in these mandatory quarterly submissions and remain visible at the state level. Keeping documentation of completed remediation work can help demonstrate that a violation has been corrected before the next reporting cycle.

Section 105 Mass. Code Regs. 460.770 gives tenants an indirect but meaningful transparency tool: local agencies must report all uncorrected lead violations and associated legal proceedings to the state Director every quarter. If a lead violation at a rental property has not been addressed, that status is formally tracked and reported upward to state authorities. Tenants who believe a lead violation is being ignored may consider contacting their local code enforcement agency to inquire about the violation's reported status, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with Massachusetts lead-paint law for guidance on available options.
