Massachusetts law makes lead paint the owner's problem when a young child lives in the house. Under the state Lead Law, if a child under six lives in a home with dangerous levels of lead in its paint, the owner has to abate or contain it. If you buy such a home and a child under six will live there, you have ninety days after the sale to bring it into compliance.
The city's local historic districts add a step for some owners. Crown Hill, Elm Park, Massachusetts Avenue and Montvale are mapped as local historic districts, and the Historical Commission reviews alterations there. You or someone representing you has to attend the meeting. A signed decision follows within one to two weeks, and you need it to get a building permit. The commission is also studying more districts, so check the city's map before you order windows.
