Lead-Safe Inspections from Start to Finish

Lead-Safe Inspectors for the Toledo Ohio Lead-Safe Ordinance.

Licensed and Insured

Toledo, Ohio passed the Residential Rental Properties and Lead Safety Compliance Lead-Safe Ordinance requiring 1-4 rental units and family child-care homes to be inspected for lead paint issues. 

On May 14, 2024, at 10am the Ohio 6th District Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments at the Van Wert County Courthouse in Van Wert, OH. City law director Dale Emch stated the Ordinance will not be enforced while there is ongoing litigation.

    I aim to raise awareness about lead paint and invisible lead paint dust issues in homes and apartments built before 1978. As a licensed Lead Risk Assessor, I am asked many questions and the new videos will help answer them. 


    With more Lead-Safe education, everyone can understand that it's possible to live Lead-Safe in a home built before 1978 where lead paint is most likely present.


    As of April 9, 2024, I've raised $170 towards my goal... Thank you! There are 7 video scripts complete and I've released the first video about the litigation against the Lead-Safe Ordinance.

    The goal is education first. With warnings about lead in tableware, drinking glasses, how much lead ingested sticks to your bones, and more we like to to make it easy to learn what to do to be lead-safe.
