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.

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.
