College Park Lead Inspections

College Park is best known as the home of the University of Maryland and its vibrant student population, along with long-established residential neighborhoods. Many homes and rental properties in College Park were built before 1978, which means lead-based paint may still be present—creating health risks and legal responsibilities for property owners.

Why Lead Inspections Matter in College Park

College Park has a high concentration of older rental housing, especially near campus and in neighborhoods like Old Town, Calvert Hills, and Berwyn. As lead-based paint ages, it can deteriorate and create toxic lead dust, which is dangerous for:

  • Children under 6
  • Pregnant women
  • Families living in rental housing

While college students are less likely to face long-term exposure, landlords are still legally required to comply with Maryland’s lead laws for pre-1978 rental properties.

According to the CDC, there is no safe level of lead exposure for children, making lead inspections a critical step in protecting families and maintaining legal compliance.
