The properties listed below have been placarded by the Ohio Department of Health or the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department due to the presence of known lead hazards. These properties are located in Lucas County and have been determined to be unsafe for human habitation, especially for pregnant women and children under the age of six.
A placard is an official notice posted on a property indicating that it contains serious lead hazards and cannot be occupied until those hazards have been corrected. Placarded properties have been issued an order to vacate because the owner failed to comply with a lead hazard control order. No one should live in these units until the lead hazards have been addressed, the property passes a clearance examination, and the order is lifted.
Before renting or purchasing any property in Toledo, it is critical to check whether the home is placarded for lead. Living in a placarded property can pose serious health risks, particularly to young children and expectant mothers. Use the list below to research properties and make informed decisions to protect yourself and your family.
If you have questions about a specific property or need more information, please contact the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department or the Ohio Department of Health.
