Elyria And Lorain Have 9 Lead Hazard Properties

ELYRIA and LORAIN, OH - Three Elyria properties and six Lorain properties have been ordered vacated by the Ohio Department of Health (OHDOH) due to lead hazards, the department says. The properties were four of approximately 540 properties that were recently listed in the lead hazard registry published by the OHDOH.

All of the properties in the registry refused to correct lead hazards that were present. The property owners have now been ordered to vacate the premises and the properties have been declared unsafe for human occupation.

"This means that no person should be living in these properties until the identified lead hazards have been corrected, the properties pass a clearance examination, and the lead hazard control order has been lifted by the Ohio Department of Health or its delegated local board of health," the OHDOH said on its website.

The properties listed were:

• 114 W River Rd. N., Elyria
• 352 8th St., Elyria
• 430 10th St., Elyria
• 1054 W 20th St., Lorain
• 1241 W 9th St., Lorain
• 1906 E 29th St., Lorain
• 308 W 27th St., Lorain
• 655 E Erie Ave., Lorain
• 744 F St., Lorain

A spokesperosn for the Lorain County General Health District was not immediately available for comment.
