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.

    Alex and the EHC team were professional, prompt, and organized throughout their work on the Lincoln University Gymnasium Renovation project. Communication was clear, scheduling was efficient, and their crew maintained a safe and well-coordinated jobsite. They demonstrated strong attention to detail and delivered exactly as promised. I’d highly recommend EHC and Alex Henriquez for any future construction projects.

    Alex Henriquez and EHC abatement crew did a nice job at the Kendal Project. Had a few tough days working around other contractors that made it difficult for his crew to perform their work, but he made it happen! Pleasure working with them, looking forward to the next phase!

    We are very pleased with the work done by EHC. Starting with Elio with the assessment, Colleen and Barbara with the contract and scheduling, Dan with the prework walk through, and Alex and his team with the lead abatement. Alex explained the process with us and had his team take photos and videos of our problem areas. He was professional, friendly, helpful, and thorough.

    It was a distinct pleasure to interact with Elio. His affable demeanor and accommodating nature were readily apparent, reflecting the qualities of a true gentleman.The circumstances presented a considerable degree of stress. Elio demonstrated exceptional patience by thoroughly explaining the situation and outlining available options, ensuring a clear understanding of the path forward. Furthermore, he provided invaluable assistance with the necessary documentation. His efforts were instrumental in alleviating our concerns. Throughout the years, we have engaged with numerous contractors and sales representatives. However, Elio's level of accommodation and helpfulness is unparalleled. He is a truly exceptional individual.

    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!
