Our Bronx office

We publish a Bronx office at 1500 Astor Avenue, 2nd Floor, Bronx, NY 10469, and the same number reaches our principal office at 305 Broadway, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10007. You can come to either published address; if you are not sure which is more convenient, call and ask.

Experience makes all the difference

Lead poisoning is most common, and most damaging, in very young children. Exposure to lead-based paint is the primary source. Even a small amount of peeling, chipping, or dusting paint in older housing can be hazardous, and no amount of lead is safe in a child’s body.

This firm was counsel for the plaintiffs in Juarez v. Wavecrest Management Team Ltd., 88 N.Y.2d 628 (1996) — the Court of Appeals decision that set the rules for landlord liability for lead-based paint in New York City. Lead cases are often complex, and an experienced attorney should review yours promptly.

Past Bronx lead recoveries

We have recovered many millions of dollars for victims of lead poisoning. These are dated announcements of past results — not a prediction for any other case.

Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

• $3,000,000 — November 17, 2025 · Bronx · blood lead level 46 µg/dL · pre-1960 apartment
• $2.35 million — January 13, 2026 · Bronx · blood lead level 34 µg/dL · resolved before trial
• $1.75 million — May 11, 2026 · two Bronx sisters · blood lead levels 21 and 6 µg/dL · private mediation
• $1 million — May 12, 2026 · Bronx · child under two · blood lead level 11 µg/dL · two appeals

On August 5, 2026, the firm also announced a pending Bronx County lawsuit against the New York City Department of Education. That filing is not a settlement and no amount is stated.

What you can do now

Speak with your child’s doctor, and do not scrape or sand paint yourself. If paint is peeling, or repairs are making dust, call 311 — immigration status does not block a housing complaint. We cannot order a blood test or a repair; that is the Health Department’s role. A longer checklist is on What to do now.

A lawsuit over a child’s lead poisoning is not typically a legal basis to evict a tenant who has a lease. If a landlord threatens that, please say so when you call.
