City of Philadelphia - Lead Certification Acknowledgement Form

Philadelphia now requires that either a “lead safe/lead free” certificate or an “EXEMPTION FORM” be filed for ALL of your rental units.  The exemption for not requiring a submission of a lead test is based upon the date the property was built.  If the property was built (from the ground up/including basement) after March 1978, you are not required to have the property tested, but you are REQUIRED to submit the exemption form.  If your building was not built after March 1978, your property is NOT EXEMPT.
