Getting the certificate in Corbin City

  1. Confirm the building was built before 1978 and no exemption applies.
  2. Book the inspection, either through Corbin City's own lead inspection program or with a certified lead evaluation firm you hire. If you hire a firm, it sends Corbin City a copy of any certificate it issues.
  3. If the inspector finds lead hazards, have them fixed (interim controls or abatement) and re-inspected.
  4. Keep the lead-safe certificate, report each tenant turnover to Corbin City, and book the next inspection before the certificate's three years run out.

We haven't reviewed Corbin City's own ordinance yet, so the town fee and booking steps above are the statewide rule. Ask Corbin City's code enforcement or construction office for its fee.
