^ That has been my take as well. Perhaps I've been too slack about it. This landlady is interesting, she's kind of a cheapskate but not excessively so and treats me well. She was hit with a double-permit fee for trying to rebuild a stairway on the place with no permit before I met her. She says the EPA fines are pretty steep - I seem to recall something like $30K.

That's what I've seen done in older houses when the lead paint was still intact. On both of these doors, about half is peeling away and hanging in pieces. Just brushing it with your hand results in a lot of pieces falling off.
The other advice all good and thank you. Hadn't heard of peel-away remover. I'll look into that. They have hazardous disposal locations here and there - paint, brake fluid, etc. - I'll call them and see if they have any protocol for removed goo.
