Sec. 8. Inspection of buildings occupied by a person screening positive. A representative of the Department, or delegate agency, may, after notification that an occupant of the dwelling unit in question is found to have a blood lead value of the value set forth in Section 7, upon presentation of the appropriate credentials to the owner, occupant, or his representative, inspect dwelling or dwelling units, at reasonable times, for the purposes of ascertaining that all surfaces accessible to children are intact and in good repair, and for purposes of ascertaining the existence of lead bearing substances. Such representative of the Department, or delegate agency, may remove samples or objects necessary for laboratory analysis, in the determination of the presence of lead-bearing substances in the designated dwelling or dwelling unit.

If a building is occupied by a child of less than 3 years of age screening positive the Department, in addition to all other requirements of this Section, must inspect the dwelling unit and common place area of the child screening positive.

Following the inspection, the Department or its delegate agency shall:

(1) Prepare an inspection report which shall:

(A) State the address of the dwelling unit.

(B) Describe the scope of the inspection, the inspection procedures used, and the method of ascertaining the existence of a lead bearing substance in the dwelling unit.

(C) State whether any lead bearing substances were found in the dwelling unit.

(D) Describe the nature, extent, and location of any lead bearing substance that is found.

(E) State either that a lead hazard does exist or that a lead hazard does not exist. If a lead hazard does exist, the report shall describe the source, nature and location of the lead hazard. The existence of intact lead paint does not alone constitute a lead hazard for the purposes of this Section.

(F) Give the name of the person who conducted the inspection and the person to contact for further information regarding the inspection and the requirements of this Act.

(2) Mail or otherwise provide a copy of the inspection report to the property owner and to the occupants of the dwelling unit.

(410 ILCS 45/9) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1309)

Sec. 9. Procedures upon determination of lead hazard.

(1) If the inspection report identifies a lead hazard, the Department or delegate agency shall serve a mitigation notice on the property owner that the owner is required to mitigate the lead hazard, and shall indicate the time period specified in this Section in which the owner must complete the mitigation. The notice shall include information describing mitigation activities which meet the requirements of this Act.

(2) If the inspection report identifies a lead hazard, the owner shall mitigate the lead hazard in a manner prescribed by the Department and within the time limit prescribed by this Section. The Department shall adopt rules regarding acceptable methods of mitigating a lead hazard. If the source of the lead hazard identified in the inspection report is lead paint or any other leaded surface coating, the lead hazard shall be deemed to have been mitigated if:

(A) The surface identified as the source of the hazard is no longer in a condition that produces a hazardous level of leaded chips, flakes, dust or any other form of leaded substance, that can be ingested or inhaled by humans, or;

(B) If the surface identified as the source of the hazard is accessible to children and could reasonably be chewed on by children, the surface coating is either removed or covered, the surface is removed, or the access to the leaded surface by children is otherwise prevented as prescribed by the Department.

(3) Mitigation activities which involve the destruction or disturbance of any leaded surface shall be conducted by a licensed lead abatement contractor using licensed lead abatement workers. The Department may prescribe by rule mitigation activities that may be performed without a licensed contractor or worker. The Department may, on a case by case basis, grant a waiver of the requirement to use licensed lead abatement contractors and workers, provided the waiver does not endanger the health or safety of humans.

(4) The Department shall establish procedures whereby an owner, after receiving a mitigation notice under this Section, may submit a mitigation plan to the Department or delegate agency for review and approval.

(5) When a mitigation notice is issued for a dwelling unit inspected as a result of an elevated blood lead level in a pregnant woman or a child, or if the dwelling unit is occupied by a child under 6 years of age or a pregnant woman, the owner shall mitigate the hazard within 30 days of receiving the notice; otherwise, the owner shall complete the mitigation within 90 days.

(6) An owner may apply to the Department or its delegate agency for an extension of the deadline for mitigation. If the Department or its delegate agency determines that the owner is making substantial progress toward mitigation, or that the failure to meet the deadline is the result of a shortage of licensed abatement contractors or workers, or that the failure to meet the deadline is because the owner is awaiting the review and approval of a mitigation plan, the Department or delegate agency may grant an extension of the deadline.

(7) The Department or its delegate agency may, after the deadline set for completion of mitigation, conduct a follow-up inspection of any dwelling for which a mitigation notice was issued for the purpose of determining whether the mitigation actions required have been completed and whether the activities have sufficiently mitigated the lead hazard as provided under this Section. The Department or its delegate agency may conduct a follow-up inspection upon the request of an owner or resident. If, upon completing the follow-up inspection, the Department or its delegate agency finds that the lead hazard for which the mitigation notice was issued is not mitigated, the Department or its delegate agency shall serve the owner with notice of the deficiency and a mitigation order. The order shall indicate the specific actions the owner must take to comply with the mitigation requirements of this Act, which may include abatement if abatement is the sole means by which the lead hazard can be mitigated. The order shall also include the date by which the mitigation shall be completed. If, upon completing the follow-up inspection, the Department or delegate agency finds that the mitigation requirements of this Act have been satisfied, the Department or delegate agency shall provide the owner with a certificate of compliance stating that the required mitigation has been accomplished.

(8) When mitigation notices are issued for 2 or more dwelling units in a building within a 5-year time period, the Department may inspect all units and common areas in the building or require the building owner to hire a private inspector to perform the inspection. All lead hazards must be mitigated in a reasonable time frame, as determined by rules adopted by the Department by December 31, 2006.

(410 ILCS 45/9.2 new)

Sec. 9.2. Owner's obligation to post notice. The owner of a dwelling unit or residential building who has received a mitigation notice under Section 9 of this Act shall post notices in common areas of the building specifying the identified lead hazards. The posted notices, drafted by the Department and sent to the property owner with the notification of lead hazards, shall indicate the following:

(1) that a unit or units in the building have been found to have lead hazards;

(2) that other units in the building may have lead hazards;

(3) that the Department recommends that children 6 years of age or younger receive a blood lead screening; and

(4) where to seek further information.

(410 ILCS 45/10.1 new)

Sec. 10.1. Notice of violations recorded with deeds. If the owner of a property has failed to complete mitigation activities required by the Department or delegate agency within 90 days after the issuance of a mitigation notice, the Department or delegate agency shall cause a Notice of Discovery of Lead Hazards to be recorded at the office of the Recorder of Deeds in the county in which the property is located. The Notice shall, at a minimum, consist of the information required by the Recorder of Deeds to record the Notice, the location of the dwelling unit where the hazard is located, and a statement that the Department or delegate agency identified lead hazards in violation of this Act. Upon the issuance of a certificate of compliance, the Department or delegate agency shall provide the property owner with a Release of Notice of Discovery of Lead Hazards that, at a minimum, shall consist of the information required by the Recorder of Deeds to record the Release and a statement that the previously identified lead hazards have been mitigated to the satisfaction of the Department or delegate agency. The owner may cause this Release to be recorded at the office of the Recorder of Deeds in the county in which the property is located. The Release shall release only the Notice of Discovery of Lead Hazards and not any other liens or claims separately recorded by the Department or delegate agency.

(c) In addition to any other penalty provided under this Act, the court in an action brought under subsection (e) may impose upon any person who violates or does not comply with a notice of deficiency and a mitigation order issued under subsection (7) of Section 9 of this Act or who fails to comply with subsection (3) or subsection (5) of Section 9 of this Act a civil penalty not exceeding $2,500 for each violation, plus $250 for each day that the violation continues.

Any civil penalties collected in a court proceeding shall be deposited into a delegated county lead poisoning screening, prevention, and abatement fund or, if no delegated county or lead poisoning screening, prevention, and abatement fund exists, into the Lead Poisoning Screening, Prevention, and Abatement Fund established under Section 7.2.

(d) Whenever the Department finds that an emergency exists that requires immediate action to protect the health of children under this Act, it may, without administrative procedure or notice, cause an action to be brought by the Attorney General or the State's Attorney of the county in which a violation has occurred for a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction to require such action as is required to meet the emergency and protect the health of children.

(e) The State's Attorney of the county in which a violation occurs or the Attorney General may bring an action for the enforcement of this Act and the rules adopted and orders issued under this Act, in the name of the People of the State of Illinois, and may, in addition to other remedies provided in this Act, bring an action for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction as described in subsection (d) or an injunction to restrain any actual or threatened violation or to impose or collect a civil penalty for any violation.
