So you're not sure whether this quote:

rule, because of lead paint, that any house built before 1978 cannot
have any "peeling, checking or flaking paint".

means

a. *any house built before 1978 cannot have any "peeling, checking, or
flaking paint."

or

b. *any house with lead paint has to have all the lead paint removed?

contained or abated; but not removed.
