A foster home built before 1978 in which a foster child under six (6) years of age may be placed shall be maintained free of lead-based paint hazards.
A foster home shall be inspected for lead-based paint hazards if:
The lead-based paint inspection report shall be conducted by a Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) or DOEE accredited or certified lead-based inspector or risk assessor.
If the lead-based paint inspection indicates the presence of a lead-based paint hazard in the home, a foster child of any age may not be placed in the home until the lead-based paint hazard has been abated in accordance with District law and regulations.
