If SUBRECIPIENT has knowledge that an assisted family or household will occupy a dwelling unit for more than 100 days, the LBP Regs require evidence of compliance prior to occupancy. Funding to be provided hereunder is condi- tioned upon evidence of compliance.

LBP compliance requirements relating to such dwell- ing units includes, without limitation: notification, evaluation by visual assessment, paint stabi- lization utilizing safe work practices, and clearance.
