Q1 APPLY MICHIGAN RESIDENTIAL CODE AND ADOPTED REFERENCED STANDARDS TO
MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATION PROJECTS, INCLUDING STRUCTURAL, EGRESS, AND
ENERGY PROVISIONS
A contractor is renovating a pre-1978 rental property in Michigan. The
owner-occupant has no children under 6 and no pregnant women. The
contractor's firm is not EPA Lead-Safe Certified. Under the EPA Renovation, Repair
and Painting (RRP) Rule, which party is legally responsible for ensuring
compliance with lead-safe work practices?
A. The property owner, because the owner-occupant exemption applies when no children under
6 reside there.
B. The contractor, because the RRP Rule requires the firm performing the renovation to be
certified and use certified renovators. CORRECT
C. Neither party, because the owner-occupant exemption eliminates all lead-safe requirements
for target housing.
D. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), which assumes
responsibility for lead-safe work practices in rental housing.
RATIONALE: The RRP Rule places the compliance obligation on the renovation firm, which must
be EPA-certified and use certified renovators. The owner-occupant exemption applies only to
owner-occupied housing, not rental property. EGLE does not perform work practices; it enforces
regulations.

, Q2 APPLY MICHIGAN RESIDENTIAL CODE AND ADOPTED REFERENCED STANDARDS TO
MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATION PROJECTS, INCLUDING STRUCTURAL, EGRESS, AND
ENERGY PROVISIONS
A contractor files a construction lien against a residential property in Michigan.
The lien is recorded on March 1. A mortgage on the property was recorded on
February 15 of the same year. Assuming proper lien procedures, which statement
best describes the priority of the construction lien?
A. The construction lien has priority over the mortgage because it relates back to the first day of
work. CORRECT
B. The mortgage has priority because it was recorded first, and Michigan follows a pure
race-notice recording system.
C. The construction lien has priority only for labor and materials furnished after the mortgage
recording date.
D. The construction lien and mortgage share equal priority and are paid pro rata from foreclosure
proceeds.
RATIONALE: Michigan's Construction Lien Act gives a construction lien priority over a mortgage
recorded after the first day of work, even if the lien itself is recorded later. The mortgage recorded
before the first day of work would have priority, but here the lien relates back to the first day of
work (before February 15).
