The Impact of Mandating Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems
The Impact of Mandating Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems
The IAR Advocacy Program has produced a new lobbying brochure on the issue of municipal ordinances which require the installation of fire sprinkler systems in ALL newly constructed single-family homes and townhomes. IAR’s local Government Affairs Directors are expecting that this issue will be prominent in 2010 because a national building officials group recently recommended that this requirement be a part of any local building code (for new residential construction). In addition, the sprinkler manufacturer lobby is pressing hard for this requirement. The brochure will be given to local officials when they consider such a proposal. The piece is intended to have local officials consider all aspects of an installation mandate, including the cost borne by the new homebuyer, and the deprivation of consumer choice. For a copy of this brochure contact Aimee Bick of IAR, abick@iar.org or 800-752-3274.

How New Lead-Based Paint Rules Affect REALTORS
How New Lead-Based Paint Rules Affect REALTORS®
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a new rule regarding remodeling and renovation work that is done in housing to address lead-based paint hazards created by such work. This new rule goes into effect on April 22, 2010. The U.S. EPA rule in this area addresses lead hazards in remodeling and renovation projects. To reduce exposure to lead-based paint hazards during renovation activities, EPA is requiring additional notification and work safety procedures before, during, and after remodeling or renovation activity. These new rules will particularly impact REALTORS® who have significant property management activities in their practice and residential property managers. NAR has developed a pair of video compliance guides to help REALTORS® understand the new rules and their compliance responsibilities.
