 | Concerned because you may be sued because you may
have lead-based paint in your property?
|
| Are you confused or not sure how to comply with
Maryland's cost-effective, Lead Poisoning Prevention Program? |
|
Would you like to benefit from the Limited
Liability and Law Suit Protection Maryland Law will give you if you comply? |
|
If you answered YES to any of these questions, I can
help.
Maryland has been a leader in dealing with the national problem
of lead-based paint in housing contributing to the poisoning of
children. For investors and landlords, lead-based paint has
become a litigation nightmare. However, Maryland's Lead
Poisoning Prevention Program, passed into law in 1994, has made huge
gains in the reduction of both lawsuits against landlords and the
poisoning of children. Understandably, many landlords and
property owners have not complied with the law because they are (a)
loathe to succumb to additional regulation by the government, and/or
(b) nobody took the time to explain to them the programs requirements
and benefits. Ben Frederick III, CCIM, with over 10 years
experience in lead-based paint risk management, served on the Board of
the Property Owners Association at the time this law was being formed
and is familiar with its requirements and its benefits. He is
now in a position to assist and educate landlords and property owners
on the practical and economical application of this law. Those
who comply receive the benefit of limited liability in the event of a
potential lawsuit.
Key Benefits
| Limit Liability in the event a tenant has elevated blood lead levels; |
| Avoid fines for not complying with Maryland's Lead Poisoning Prevention
Program; |
| Improve the value and desirability of your Property; |
| Most lenders require compliance with Maryland's Lead Poisoning Prevention
Program as a condition of granting a new or refinanced mortgage loan. |
Capabilities
I was on the Board of Directors of the Property Owners Association of Greater
Baltimore at the time this law was negotiated with legislatures and eventually
passed into law. A pioneer in prevention, I implemented policies and
procedures for clients to reduce their liability long before the law was
changed.
Since the Maryland Lead Poisoning Prevention Program was passed in 1994, I
worked to have my clients comply and discovered the most cost-effective ways to
comply with the law.
