Safe windows for the kids: lead-safe readiness before an old-house renovation.

A Rochester family in a 1920s house, in one of the nation's highest child-lead-burden cities, plans window and trim work and needs to know what's safe to touch. This packet delivers their claim of a lead-safe home renovation: friction/impact surfaces documented window by window, planned work mapped against RRP de minimis, urgent flags on any chips or dust near where the kids sleep and play, and routing to certified firms + Monroe County's lead program.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

year-built evidence + room-by-room paint-condition photo inventory + planned-work disturbance map + certified-firm/funding routing: Real, Proven, One-of-one

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• camera (close-up capable for paint-condition photos)
• tablet/clipboard with the room-by-room paint-condition checklist
• flashlight
• tape measure (deteriorated-paint extent, window/door friction surfaces)
• county assessor / permit record for year-built confirmation

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the home's year built from assessor/permit records and the household's renovation intent (which rooms, which surfaces, kids or a pregnant occupant in the home?). Pre-1978 + planned paint disturbance = the RRP Rule applies to the work, record that determination.
2. 2. Walk room by room photographing paint condition: intact vs deteriorated (peeling, chipping, chalking, flaking) with approximate square footage per surface, without touching, scraping, or disturbing anything.
3. 3. Document friction and impact surfaces separately (window sashes/wells, door edges, stair treads, porch floors), the highest-exposure surfaces for children, plus any visible paint dust or chips at floors and window troughs.
4. 4. Map the household's planned renovation against the inventory: which planned activities would disturb painted surfaces (and exceed RRP de minimis. >6 sq ft interior / >20 sq ft exterior per room/component), and which are paint-safe as planned.
5. 5. Assemble the lead-safe renovation package: the room-by-room condition inventory, the disturbance map, the requirement that a certified firm perform testing (EPA-recognized kits or an XRF by a certified inspector) and all disturbing work, and the local lead-hazard-control grant / health-department programs the family may qualify for.
6. 6. Review with the household in plain words: what can proceed now, what waits for the certified firm, why the kids' window sills matter most; enter photos, GPS/address, year-built evidence, the inventory + disturbance map; sign. The family's claim of a lead-safe renovation = this package: Real, Proven, One-of-one.

What counts as done

• Year-built confirmation (assessor/permit record) + RRP-applicability determination
• Room-by-room paint-condition photos (intact vs deteriorated, approximate extent) incl. window sashes/wells, door edges, stair treads
• Disturbance map: each planned renovation activity marked paint-safe vs EPA-certified-firm-only
• GPS / address confirm
• Routing package: certified-firm requirement + testing path + local lead-hazard-control grant/program paths

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
