Fort Wayne Lead Information
Neither the City of Fort Wayne, the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health or the Allen County Childhood Lead
Poisoning Prevention Program assumes any liability nor responsibility for the veracity of the test results, nor the classification of
the housing as either "Lead Safe" or "Lead Free". While the City of Fort Wayne, the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of
Health or the Allen County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program have no reason to suspect that the determinations of
Lead Safe and/or Lead Free are incorrect, they, and each of them, assume no liability for personal injury, damages, claims,
costs, expenses, losses, fees, expenses of any kind or nature arising out of the occupancy of the units listed in the registry.
You are encouraged to immediately report any evidence of the presence of any lead found in an improper condition,
within the listed units, to both the owners of housing and the registry.
DEFINITIONS:
Property was constructed after 1977 and is therefore presumed to be lead free.
Property has been tested according to State guidelines and found to be lead-free.
Property has been tested according to State guidelines and found to be lead-safe.
The definition "Lead-safe" does not mean all lead paint has been eliminated from a property, but that at the time of
lead clearance examination by a certified lead risk assessor, the property contained no lead hazards, i.e., no visible paint
chips or dust and painted surfaces were visibly in tact and any dust wipes taken tested below the more stringent of State
and or Federal lead levels defining a hazard at the time/date posted in the clearance document of record. Occupants
should be aware of all locations/materials containing lead so that any damages can be reported to the ownership of
the property and reasonable care can be exercised in those locations in the normal course of maintenance/house cleaning.
At the time of the lead clearance examination, the property contained no lead hazards, i.e., no visible
paint chips or dust and painted surfaces were visibly intact and any dust wipes taken tested below the State
and Federal leead levels defining a hazard. The home was not made lead-free and unfortunately, regular
wear and tear can chip, peel or chalk the paint making it very unsafe especially for children under the age
of seven. Therefore, landlord/owners must be sure the paint stays intact (not peeling, chipping, chalking, etc.)
in order to ensure that the property is kept lead-safe.
