Every Purchaser of any interest in residential real property on which a residential dwelling was built before 1978 is notified that such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based paint that may place young children at risk of developing lead poisoning. Lead poisoning in young children may produce permanent neurological damage, including learning disabilities, reduced intelligence quotient, behavioral problems, and impaired memory. Lead poisoning also poses a particular risk to pregnant women. The Seller of any interest in residential property is required to provide the Purchaser with any information on lead-based paint hazards from risk assessments or inspections in the Seller's possession and notify the Purchaser of any known lead-based paint hazards. A risk assessment or inspection for possible lead-based paint hazards is recommended before purchase. |
