"Lead inspection" means a surface-by-surface investigation to determine the presence of lead-based paint and a determination of the existence, nature, severity and location of lead-based paint hazards in a residential dwelling or child-occupied facility. Inspectors provide a written report explaining the results of the investigation and options for reducing lead-based paint hazards to the person requesting the lead inspection. "Risk assessment" means an investigation to determine the existence, nature, severity, and location of lead-based paint hazards in a residential dwelling or child-occupied facility.
