Environment

Because of the old buildings and then use lead-based wall paint most of the houses in Belmont are lead- burdened. Infants should not live in such apartments, the landlord is - if suddenly a toddler lives there - committed to partial remediation. The sweeping of lead paint can be detected by a " de -leading certificate" by the landlord.
