Lead Activity - Abatement & Renovation Permit Application

DOEE is streamlining the permit extension process in accordance with the regulation and program protocols. On February 22, 2022, DOEE will no longer use the Lead-Based Paint Activity Permit Application and Notification Revision Form. Instead, permit holders must submit any modification to an existing permit directly on the online permit application for review at least seven (7) business days before expiration of permit. If the modification is not submitted at least seven (7) business days before the expiration of permit, DOEE may require the submission of a new permit application. If you do not adhere to the requirements, DOEE may take further steps to ensure compliance.

The instructions below outline the steps to submit modifications to an existing DOEE lead abatement or renovation permit.

Step 1 – Approved user for the DOEE Lead Compliance and Enforcement Branch online permit application must login to the system to update the application
