(a) Whenever the Director determines that a lead-poisoned child resides in the City and County of San Francisco, the Director may inspect:
(1) The dwelling unit in which the affected child currently resides, and;
(2) Any dwelling unit in which the affected child resided or received family day care during the six-month period prior to the Director's initial determination.
(b) Whenever the Director determines that a lead-poisoned child spends a substantial amount of time at any location other than a dwelling unit, and that such building or premises may cause or contribute to the child's elevated blood lead level, the Director may inspect that building or premises to the extent allowed by law. The Director shall notify the owner or manager of such location of any discovered lead hazards and shall notify the users or occupants by posting a notice of his/her findings at the premises.
(c) Every inspection shall include sampling for the presence of environmental lead as deemed necessary and appropriate by the Director, provided that, the Director shall use the most current guidance from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and the United States Environmental Protection Agency to determine appropriate sampling and testing methods. All bulk samples gathered during an inspection shall be tested by an accredited laboratory.
(d) The Director shall provide the results of any sampling to the parent or guardian of the affected child and to the owner of the dwelling unit, if different than such parent or guardian, and to the owner or manager of any nonresidential premises inspected under this Article, along with the Director's requirements for control or elimination of lead hazards. The Director shall also provide sample results to the Director of the Department of Building Inspection.
(e) If the results of an inspection under Subsection (a) indicate lead hazards, the Director shall notify all residential occupants of the building of the test results.
