Chester City Lead Testing Requirements for 2027

Beginning January 1, 2027, Chester City is scheduled to implement new lead safety requirements affecting certain residential rental properties.

Owners of affected properties may need to demonstrate compliance with the city's lead safety ordinance, including applicable testing, inspection, and documentation requirements.

Properties built before 1978 deserve particular attention because lead-based paint was commonly used in residential construction before it was banned for consumer residential use.

Hellas Environmental Testing helps property owners prepare by providing professional lead dust sampling and laboratory results.

Because requirements may vary depending on property characteristics and the city's implementation procedures, landlords should verify which inspection or certification process applies to their property.
