Steps
Pull 24 CFR Part 35 via the eCFR API full endpoint for Title 24, then locate Part 35 (Lead-Safe Housing Rule) in the response
Identify which subpart applies to the project's HUD program type, since requirements differ across rehabilitation, disposition, and tenant-based rental assistance
Cross-reference against HUD Exchange's Lead-Based Paint program page (hudexchange.info/programs/lead-based-paint) for plain-language summaries
Confirm whether a lead hazard evaluation (risk assessment or paint testing) is required before starting work, based on the level of federal assistance and construction date
Known gotchas
HUD's Lead Safe Housing Rule (24 CFR 35) and the EPA/HUD joint Lead Disclosure Rule (40 CFR 745 Subpart F) are two different rules — do not conflate HUD-assisted rehab work requirements with sale/lease disclosure requirements
Requirements vary significantly by HUD program subpart — there is no single blanket rule covering 'all HUD housing'
