Respond when the Department of Health opens a lead investigation.

A DOH investigation may begin after a child is identified with an elevated blood lead level. Inspectors evaluate the home environment to locate possible sources of exposure.

When hazards are confirmed, the owner receives an order requiring correction within a defined timeframe, followed by clearance review and supporting documentation.
