Irving apartment licensing
Irving’s Code Enforcement Department requires a license, renewed every year with a fee based on unit count, for multifamily dwelling communities and manufactured home communities. The city says every multifamily complex is inspected annually and given a risk rating from Level 1, Ideal, to Level 5, Unacceptable, based on the property’s condition, age and infrastructure.
We found no lead wording in those city pages, so a good rating is not a lead clearance, and the city inspection does not replace federal disclosure or RRP duties. Nor did we find a city registration program for single-family rentals. Questions about the license or inspections go to Code Enforcement at (972) 721-4829.
Federally assisted units
Pre-1978 housing that receives federal assistance, such as units rented to tenants with a housing voucher, falls under HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Rule, whose requirements vary with the type of assistance. One rule that applies broadly is notice: when an evaluation finds lead-based paint or hazards, occupants receive a notice within 15 calendar days of the report, and again no more than 15 calendar days after hazard reduction work is completed. Check with the agency administering the assistance which parts of the rule apply to your units.
For the evaluation that should come before a large job, see lead risk assessment. Turnover cleaning and lab testing are on the lead dust cleaning and clearance testing page, and sticking, chipped doors are covered under lead-painted doors and door frames. Our other services are listed on the Irving Lead Paint Removal home page.
