Pre-renovation notification is about making sure people know there is a lead hazard and that proper lead-safe practices will be used before any work disturbs the paint. This notice serves two things at once: it informs occupants so they can take precautions, and it sets up the protective measures the contractor will follow (such as containment, protective barriers, and thorough cleanup) to minimize lead exposure during the renovation. It’s a mandatory step to protect health, not a post-construction or optional action, and while it may affect scheduling slightly, the main purpose is safety through proactive planning.
