Baltimore City Lead Inspections
If you own or manage a property in Baltimore City, lead inspections are not just a recommendation—they’re often legally required. At Charm City Lead and Rental Inspections, we specialize in providing fast, professional, and fully certified lead inspection services that meet all city and state compliance standards.
Why Lead Inspections Matter in Baltimore City
Many Baltimore homes—especially rowhouses, rentals, and multi-family properties—were built before 1978, when lead-based paint was still commonly used. Over time, that paint can deteriorate and turn into harmful dust or chips, posing serious health risks to children and pregnant women.
The City of Baltimore requires a Lead-Safe Certificate for any rental dwelling constructed before 1978. Without it, you cannot legally rent the property.
Who Needs a Lead Inspection in Baltimore?
You need a certified lead inspection if:
- Your rental property was built before 1978
- You’re renting to a new tenant in Baltimore City
- You’re selling a home and want to disclose lead safety
- You’re buying a home built before 1978
- You’re completing renovations or repainting that may disturb painted surfaces
- You’re applying for rental licenses or HUD funding
How Much Does a Lead Inspection Cost?
In Baltimore City, the average lead inspection costs $250 to $450, depending on the size and type of property. Factors include:
- Number of rooms and surfaces to inspect
- Single-family vs. multi-family units
- Type of certificate needed (Lead-Safe vs. Lead-Free)
We always provide transparent pricing and can walk you through what’s required for your specific situation.
