Craig, your note was grounded in your experience as a landlord. I'm curious whether you could muster up any arguments to counter your own. Is it a worthless endeavor to find and remove lead because it is so prevalent in the city? Since a rented residence is in effect a business, should it be held to a higher level of accountability of health standards than a private owner occupied dwelling? Btw, I have no information on how prevalent it is, but I would be interested to see your source.
