Revisions or augmentations of prior inspections found to be of insufficient quality shall be completed no later than September 17, 2001. (b) If a lead-based paint inspection has found the presence of lead-based paint, or if no lead-based paint inspection has been conducted, the PHA shall conduct a risk assessment according to the following schedule, unless a risk assessment that meets the conditions of § 35.165(b) has already been completed: (1) Risk assessments shall be completed on or before March 15, 2001, in a multifamily residential property constructed before 1960.
