Lancaster City Council Passes Ordinance On Lead Paint Health Concerns

Lead Paint Ordinance in Lancaster City

City Council unanimously passed an ordinance on Tuesday, November 14, 2017, to toughen up Lancaster’s regulations on lead paint in homes and apartment buildings. The new regulation will require landlords to certify properties that were built before 1978 as lead-safe or lead-free in order to rent to families with children age 6 or under who are at a higher risk from lead. This lead ordinance will take effect in the next few weeks.

This is a big step in trying to solve a major public health concern and will be part of a much bigger effort that will be broadened and analyzed going forward.

For more information, please visit this article “City Council passes ordinance on lead paint hazards” posted on Lancaster Online.

    There is not enough stars on here to give credit to the young man that came to my house to give me information about Asbestos, the gauge on my furnace and clean up in my basement. His name is ELIO. I am hoping to get my basement cleaned out and i will get it done by your company. Elio was so very helpful !

    e.h.c. was contracted to remove flooring asbestos from my residence. Their service was outstanding from my initial contact through the removal process. Crew was prompt, courteous, and the job was completed within the specified time frame. The work area was left in spotless condition. Luis was the crew leader and he was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend e.h.c. for any project involving the removal of hazardous materials.

    After calling around to different companies I decided to have EHC remove around 1000sqft of asbestos from my home. Elio, Alex & their team made the process quick, efficient and easy from start to finish. Their work was impeccable and their professionalism in taking care of everything was astounding. I can’t recommend them enough!

    First I want to thank Barb for working with my wife and I over the phone, she is awesome. Second we would like to thank Elio for coming into our home to explain everything that was going to be done. Last we want to thank Louis and his awesome crew that was at our house. They were so accommodating to us and our pets. Great people like this in the industry go unnoticed, but my wife Erin & I want you all at EHC to know you are valued very much!

    We had Elio Cirilo come out to assess and quote asbestos removal at our plant. Their price was fair and they were able to come out very quickly to tackle the job. Alex Henriquez was the supervisor for the job and he was great with communication and making sure that all of our requests were met and safety protocols were followed. They even did a big job in a quarter of the time I expected. I can't recommend them enough!

    I would like to share my experience with one of your employees. I found out I had asbestos exposure in one of the main basement pipes at my house, which I had recently purchased. Elio Cirilo was very professional from start to end with this process. I actually was very impressed with his communication skills; he explained the before-and-after process of asbestos removal in detail, answered all my questions without any hesitation and did not rush things; I actually felt like he cared, which is rare to find these day, dressed very professional, and his professional knowledge made me feel more comfortable and at ease with everything before leaving, since at the time I was feeling very stressed out about the whole situation and not knowing whether I would be able to afford this or not, since I am a single mother. Although, I decided to go elsewhere for my asbestos removal, I would definitely recommend your company because of employees like Elio, who make the process a little less painful.
