Naperville landlord lead paint rules (2026)
Short answer: Naperville has no routine city rental lead-safe certificate. Pre-1978 rentals still need federal Title X disclosure + the EPA pamphlet and the Illinois lead brochure at every new lease (77 Ill. Adm. Code 845.25). Inspections are triggered (for example by an elevated blood lead case), not renewed on a fixed Naperville schedule.
What Naperville landlords owe at each lease
- Federal lead disclosure form and Lead Warning Statement (EPA Title X / 40 CFR 745 Subpart F).
- EPA pamphlet “Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home” (EPA pamphlet).
- Illinois lead poisoning brochure (845.25(b)).
- If a mitigation notice was ever issued for the unit: written notice of the prior hazard before a new lease (845.25(a)).
