Code R307-841-4 establishes the information-distribution steps that renovation firms must follow before disturbing lead-based paint in target housing, common areas, and child-occupied facilities. Within a 60-day window before work begins, the firm is required to deliver a specific lead-hazard pamphlet to owners, occupants, or facility representatives and then document that delivery through written acknowledgment or a certificate of mailing. For common areas and child-occupied facilities, the rule also requires broader notification to occupants, parents, and guardians—either through direct written notice or posted signage—and mandates that the firm prepare a signed, dated statement describing the steps it took.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under R307-841-4, property owners who hire renovation firms for work in target housing should expect to receive a lead-hazard pamphlet no more than 60 days before work starts and to sign a written acknowledgment of receipt. Compliant operators keep a copy of that acknowledgment—or the certificate of mailing used in its place—as part of their renovation records. When work involves common areas, owners should also confirm that the firm has notified affected units and prepared the required signed statement describing its notification steps.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
R307-841-4 gives occupants of target housing the right to receive a lead-hazard pamphlet before renovation work begins in their unit or in common areas of their building. If a firm begins renovation without providing the pamphlet or obtaining proper documentation of delivery, that failure may constitute a violation of Utah's lead-safe renovation rules, which are administered by the Utah Division of Air Quality under the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. Tenants who believe this provision was not followed can contact the Utah Division of Air Quality to report a potential violation, consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options, or raise the issue as a defense in relevant legal proceedings.
