Lead-contaminated soil is part of federal lead disclosure requirements and applies to all properties located within the Bunker Hill Superfund Site. Sellers, landlords, and their agents must disclose to buyers and renters the presence of any known lead hazards, including soil, dust, or lead paint hazards, as well as any additional information concerning known lead hazards.
What is the cleanup status of the property I am selling/buying?

Request property information to check the status of a property, including any associated record drawings, ICP work permits, and sample data using the form below. This information should be included with your other real estate property disclosures when you sell or rent your property.
