The occupants will be notified of the hazards of lead-based paint, the symptoms and treatment of lead poisoning, how to avoid poisoning, lead level screening requirements, and appropriate abatement procedures; C. meet applicable local zoning requirements, as well as local, state, and federal housing code requirements for rehabilitation work; d. leave at least 20% of the original structure based upon the formula provided in this chapter; e. not exceed the program costs noted in this document; and f. be made reasonably accessible to handicapped/elderly occupants, when the unit is occupied by such.
