The rental-registry amendment would not require owner-occupied properties to register. The lead-pipe amendment would reference Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and other applicable state or federal standards, while providing free water lead tests upon request. Both ordinances still require review by Engineering, Inspectional Services, Legal, and OSPCD before City Council consideration.
