                Subpart G_Multifamily Mortgage Insurance

 

Sec.  35.630  Conversions and major rehabilitations.



    The procedures and requirements of this section apply when a 

nonresidential property constructed before 1978 is to be converted to 

residential use, or a residential property constructed before 1978 is to 

undergo rehabilitation that is estimated to cost more than 50 percent of 

the estimated replacement cost after rehabilitation.

    (a) Lead-based paint inspection. Before issuance of a firm FHA 

commitment, the sponsor shall conduct a lead-based paint inspection in 

accordance with Sec.  35.1320(a).

    (b) Abatement. Prior to occupancy, the sponsor shall conduct 

abatement of all lead-based paint on the property in accordance with 

Sec.  35.1325. Whenever practicable, abatement shall be achieved through 

the methods of paint removal or component replacement. If paint removal 

or component replacement are not practicable, that is if such methods 

would damage substrate material considered architecturally significant, 

permanent encapsulation or enclosure may be used as methods of 

abatement. Abatement is considered complete when clearance is achieved 

in accordance with Sec.  35.1340. If encapsulation or enclosure is used, 

the sponsor shall incorporate ongoing lead-based paint maintenance into 

regular building operations maintenance activities in accordance with 

Sec.  35.1355.

    (c) Historic properties. Section 35.115(a)(13) applies to this 

section.
