A civil liability shall be imposed upon any violators of these regulations who fail to disclose lead-based paint hazards to residents or invitees of the target housing suffering damages from them.

Authority is granted to:

  • the Department of Housing and Urban Development to investigate, administer oaths, and subpoena the production of documents, and the attendance and testimony of witnesses, in order to implement lead disclosure requirements; and
  • any U.S. district court within the jurisdiction of a noncompliance inquiry to enforce such requirements.
