VHFA will start requiring multifamily properties provide proof property owners/managers have filed annual compliance statements with the Vermont Department of Health regarding essential maintenance practices (EMP).
In an effort to reduce exposure to harmful lead, owners and managers must complete EMP in all rental housing built before 1978 and file annual compliance statements with the Vermont Department of Health.
VHFA will be confirming statements have been submitted when we're onsite performing physical inspections and file reviews of our properties.
Please be prepared to show us evidence your compliance statement has been filed with the state!
We've published details of what owners and managers of assisted housing must do to be in compliance with EMP on our Web site.
