The park is located in Old Town,&nbsp; approximately one mile from the center of the University of Maine Campus. University Park is adjacent to the&nbsp;wooded bike trails which link the campus with Old Town.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The apartments are of wood frame construction and are situated on concrete slabs. Heat in the one- and two-bedroom units is provided by a central furnace using baseboard hot-water radiation. <strong>Furniture and draperies are&nbsp;not included in the rental apartments at University Park.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a mix of students and a large number of residents from other countries and states, University&nbsp;Park is an extremely diverse community. As neighbors to people of many different cultures, races, ages, religions,&nbsp; backgrounds, and abilities, residents have a unique opportunity to participate in a truly multidimensional living environment. Particularly for children growing up in an ever-changing and increasingly shrinking world, this experience will prove invaluable. In the interests of celebrating both diversity and community, all residents are strongly encouraged to get to know their neighbors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-433be9b stk-block-background\" id=\"strong-eligibility-strong\" data-block-id=\"433be9b\"><style>.stk-433be9b .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{width:200px !important;}.stk-433be9b {background-color:#8ed1fc !important;}.stk-433be9b:before{background-color:#8ed1fc !important;}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>Eligibility<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are eligible for housing at University Park:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students in regular standing (undergraduates must be registered for a minimum of six credit hours; a graduate student for three credit hours or a graduate assistantship) who are living together as a family or have dependent children who plan to live together as a family.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prospective (summer months only) students registered for the fall semester who have dependent children and plan to live together as a family.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>NOTE: Eligibility requirements may be waived by special review. <a href=\"mailto:um.familyhousing@maine.edu\" data-type=\"mailto\" data-id=\"mailto:um.aux.finance@maine.edu\">Contact University Park Family Housing<\/a> for&nbsp;further details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-e08215c stk-block-background\" id=\"strong-occupancy-strong\" data-block-id=\"e08215c\"><style>.stk-e08215c {background-color:#8ed1fc !important;}.stk-e08215c:before{background-color:#8ed1fc !important;}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>Occupancy<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Apartments may be occupied only by registered lessee, lessee\u2019s partner or spouse and\/or the lessee\u2019s children.

Even children who appear healthy can have dangerous levels of lead.

These objects can have lead dust on them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Children\u2019s growing bodies absorb more lead<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Children\u2019s brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lead\u2019s Effects<br><\/strong>If not detected early, children with high levels of lead in their bodies can suffer from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Damage to the brain and nervous system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Behavior and learning problems (such as hyperactivity)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slowed growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hearing problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headaches<br>Lead is also harmful to adults.

A simple blood test can detect high levels of lead. Blood tests are important for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Children who are six months to one year old (six months is you live in an older home that might have lead in the paint)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family members that you think might have high levels of lead<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child is older than one year, talk to your doctor about whether your child needs testing. Your doctor or health center can do blood tests. They are inexpensive and sometimes free. Your doctor will explain what the test results mean. Treatment can range from changes in your diet to medication or a hospital stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHERE LEAD-BASED PAINT IS FOUND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the older your home, the more likely it has lead-based paint. Many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned lead-based paint from housing. Lead can be found: \u2022 In homes in the city, country, or suburbs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In apartments, single-family homes, and both private and public housing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inside and outside of the house<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In soil around a home (Soil can pick up lead from exterior paint, or other sources such as a past use of leaded has in cars.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHERE LEAD IS LIKELY TO BE A HAZARD<br><\/strong>Lead from paint chips, which you can see, and lead dust, which you can\u2019t see, can both be serious hazards. Lead-based paint that is in good condition is usually not a hazard.<br>Peeling, chipping, chalking, or cracking lead-based paint is a hazard and needs immediate attention. Lead-based paint may also be a hazard when found on surfaces that children can chew or that get a lot of wear-and tear. Those areas include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Windows and window sills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doors and door frames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stairs, railings, and banisters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Porches and fences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lead dust can form when lead-based paint is dry scraped, dry sanded, or heated. Dust also forms when painted&nbsp;surfaces bump or rub together. Lead chips and dust can get on surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter the air when people vacuum, sweep, or walk through it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when people bring soil into the house on their shoes.&nbsp; Call your state agency (see below) to find out about soil testing for lead.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CHECKING YOUR HOME FOR LEAD HAZARDS&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just knowing that a home has lead-based paint may not tell you if there is a hazard. You can get your home checked&nbsp; for lead hazards in one of two ways, or both:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A paint inspection tells you the lead content of every painted surface in your home. It won\u2019t tell you whether the paint is a hazard or how you should deal with it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A risk assessment tells you if there are any sources of serious lead exposure (such as peeling paint and lead dust). It also tells you what actions to take to address these hazards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Have qualified professionals do the work. The federal government is writing standards for inspectors and risk assessors. Some states might already have standards in place. Call your state agency for help with locating qualified professionals in your area (see below). Trained professionals use a range of methods when checking your home, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visual inspection of paint condition and location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lab tests of paint samples<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surface dust tests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A portable x-ray fluorescence machine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Home test kits for lead are available, but the federal government is still testing their reliability. These tests should not be the only method used before doing renovations or to assure safety.<br><br><strong>WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY<br><\/strong>If you suspect that your house has lead hazards, you can take some immediate steps to reduce your family\u2019s risk: \u2022 If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean up paint chips immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean floors, window frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly. (Use a mop of sponge with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner or a cleaner made specifically for lead. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>REMEMBER: NEVER MIX AMMONIA AND BLEACH PRODUCTS TOGETHER SINCE THEY CAN FORM A DANGEROUS GAS.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thoroughly rinse sponges and mop heads after cleaning dirty or dusty areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash children\u2019s hands often, especially before they eat and before nap time and bed time. \u2022 Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed animals regularly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking in lead from soil. \u2022 Make sure children eat nutritious, low-fat meals high in iron and calcium, such as spinach and low-fat dairy products. Children with good diets absorb less lead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE LEAD HAZARDS&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Removing lead improperly can increase the hazard to your family by spreading even more lead dust around the&nbsp;house.&nbsp;<br>Always use a professional who is trained to remove lead hazards safely.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>In addition to day-to-day cleaning and good nutrition:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can temporarily reduce lead hazards by taking actions like repairing damaged painted surfaces and planting grass to cover soil with high lead levels. These actions (called \u201cinterim controls\u201d) are not permanent solutions and will not eliminate all risks of exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To permanently remove lead hazards, you must hire a lead \u201cabatement\u201d contractor.<br>Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination) methods include removing, sealing, or<br>enclosing lead-based paint with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular paint is not enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Always hire a person with special training for correcting lead problems\u2014someone who knows how to do this work&nbsp;safely and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly. If possible, hire a certified lead abatement contractor.&nbsp; Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict safety rules as set by their state or by the federal&nbsp;government. Call your state agency (see below) for help with locating qualified contractors in your area and to see if&nbsp;financial assistance is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REMODELING OR RENOVATING A HOME WITH LEAD-BASED PAINT<br><\/strong>If not conducted properly, certain types of renovations can release lead from paint and dust into the air. \u2022 Take precautions before you begin remodeling or renovations that disturb painted surfaces (such as scraping off paint or tearing out walls).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have the area tested for lead-based paint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not use a dry scraper, belt-sander, propane torch, or heat gun to remove lead-based paint. These actions create large amounts of lead dust and fumes. Lead dust can remain in your home long after the work is done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temporarily move your family (especially children and pregnant women) out of the apartment or house until the work is done and the area is properly cleaned. If you can\u2019t move your family, at least completely seal off the work area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow other safety measures to reduce lead hazards.
