Lead Based Paint abatement (remove HPD/DOH violation)
Lead is a toxic heavy metal with a wide range of historical applications, including construction materials, batteries, and alloys. However, when used in paint, it poses significant health risks, particularly to children. Exposure to lead-based paint can result in severe health issues, including:
• Learning and behavioral problems.
• Delayed physical growth and mental development.
• Long-term damage to the brain and nervous system.
Understanding Lead-Based Paint Laws
The City’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act (Local Law 1 of 2004) requires landlords to identify and remediate lead-based paint hazards in apartments where young children reside. Lead-based paint is presumed to exist if:
1. The building was constructed before 1960 (or between 1960 and 1978 if lead-based paint is known to exist).
2. A child under six years old lives in the apartment.
