Weather Variance
During the winter months, November 1 through May 31, a weather variance can be issued on properties that need exterior work. This may include siding, trim, windows, foundation, steps, porch, columns, basement windows, and any out buildings. The property will be issued an "Interior Only Certificate of Conformance" and all exterior work must be completed by June 1. If the work is not completed by this date, HRC will deem the certificate null and void. See Rule 6J below.

RULE 6J: Variance from Regulations
1. A variance may be granted to a property owner where there exists a hardship to financing lead hazard mitigation, or where materials or personnel delay the mitigation completion.
2. A request for a variance must be submitted in writing, on a form approved by HRC.
3. An automatic weather variance shall be granted by the Mitigation Inspector between November 1 and May 31, when the weather prevents the property owner from correcting exterior hazards. The Mitigation Inspector must have the Property Owner/Designated person to complete and signed the Weather Variance Form, approved by HRC, and maintain a copy on records. Any identified hazards must be corrected by the Property Owner/Designated Person and inspected by the Mitigation Inspector no later than the following June 1 or within 30 days from the date it was issued, whatever is latest.
4. The Certificate of Conformance issued by the Mitigation Inspector, under the Weather Variance provision, shall be dated and entered upon the date of the initial inspection. Any further documentation of variances should be on forms approved by and submitted to the HRC, but no change
is to be made to the original Certificate of Conformance.
5. Mitigation Inspectors granting a weather variance, as specified in Section 3, above are responsible to follow-up with the Property Owner/Designated Person to make sure the exterior of the property meets the standards by re-inspecting the unit no later than the following June 1 or within 30 days from the date it was issued, whatever is latest. In the event that the Property Owner/Designated Person is not in compliance by the following June 1, the Inspector must report that the property is not in compliance, providing the number of the Certificate that was issued, no later than June 30, following the above deadline.
6. The Housing Resources Commission may declare any variance granted pursuant to this Section immediately null and void if the HRC determines that the terms of the variance have been violated.
