TL;DR
An abatement notification is the written notice a certified contractor must file with the state or EPA before starting lead-based paint or asbestos abatement in a home. It identifies the property, the firm's certification number, the start and end dates, and the removal methods, and most programs require filing five or more business days before work begins.
What it means
An abatement notification is the written notice a certified contractor must file with the state or EPA before starting lead-based paint or asbestos abatement in a home. It identifies the property, the firm's certification number, the start and end dates, and the removal methods, and most programs require filing five or more business days before work begins. The agency uses it to schedule spot inspections, so a missing notice can stop the job. Homeowners can request a copy as proof the abatement was performed legally.
