Helping You Navigate HUD Regulations with Confidence and Clarity

HUD (US. Department of Housing and Urban Development) risk assessments are important for evaluating and managing environmental hazards in residential properties, particularly those that receive federal funding. These assessments focus on identifying lead-based paint hazards, asbestos, mold and other health risks to support the safety of occupants and compliance with federal regulations.

ECS’ team of risk assessors and industrial hygienists offer a range of HUD-compliant assessments designed to identify potential environmental hazards in residential and mixed-use properties.

Mold Assessments: Assess indoor environments for mold growth, moisture issues and potential health risks, providing remediation recommendations to protect occupants.
Radon Testing: Measure radon levels in residential properties to support compliance with HUD’s requirements and protect residents from this radioactive gas.
Environmental Hazard Assessments: Conduct a detailed evaluation of potential hazards, including soil contamination and chemical exposure, particularly in properties located near industrial sites.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): NEPA requires federal agencies to assess the environmental impact of proposed projects to see that they do not harm the environment.

Guiding regulations

HUD environmental risk assessments are guided by strict federal regulations designed to identify and mitigate health hazards in housing, particularly in low-income and public housing developments. Key regulations include the Residential Lead-based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X), which mandates risk assessments for lead-based paint and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires consideration of potential environmental impacts on public housing. These assessments lead to compliance with the HUD Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-based Paint Hazards in Housing and other federal, state and local environmental standards, protecting residents and surrounding communities from exposure to hazardous materials and environmental risks.

There are a handful of reasons HUD risk assessments matter:

Regulatory Compliance: Meet HUD’s strict requirements for lead, asbestos and other environmental hazards to support continued funding and avoid penalties.
Health and Safety: Protect occupants, particularly vulnerable populations like children and the elderly, from exposure to hazardous materials.
Risk Management: Identify and mitigate environmental risks before they lead to health issues or legal liabilities.
Property Value Protection: Maintain or improve property value by seeing that environmental hazards are identified and properly managed.
