Inspections & Licenses
Inspections conducted by the Bureau of Climate and Environmental Health (BCEH) are conducted to determine compliance with Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MA DPH) statutes and regulations as well as federal statutory requirements.
In Massachusetts, children are required to have a blood test for lead. Whenever a child is lead poisoned, the BCEH Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) conducts lead inspections. Lead inspections occur in homes built prior to 1978; the year lead was banned from residential paint. The purpose of lead inspections is to identify lead hazards in the home so that the owner can comply with deleading requirements to make the home lead safe and protect children from lead exposure.
