To
report a problem in R.I.
If you see someone sanding or scraping a house that you believe was painted
with lead-based paints -- and that could be any house built before 1978
-- call the state Department of Environmental Management.
During normal work hours, you can reach painting inspectors by calling
the Office of Compliance and Inspection at 222-1360.
During nights, weekends and holidays call the Office of Enforcement at
222-3070 and leave a message. That phone line is staffed 24 hours a day.
Where
to call for help in Massachusetts
The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program offers training materials
and an at-home test on how to take the lead out of a house or provides
a list of licensed lead inspectors. Call 1-800-532-9571.
Tenants of children under 6 may call their local Lead Poisoning Prevention
Program or Board of Health. If those services are not available in your
community, call 1-800-532-9571.
