DOH Lead Violation
DOH Lead Violation Resolution in New York
Why does a lead violation from the NYC Department of Health (DOH) matter? The DOH ensures residential buildings meet safety standards to protect tenant health. One crucial standard is limiting exposure to lead-based paint and dust, which can harm young children. When an inspection reveals lead hazards that haven’t been addressed, the DOH issues a violation that requires immediate attention. Failure to remedy the situation within the given compliance period can result in significant fines and legal penalties. The violation becomes part of the public record, impacting property values and making it more challenging to rent units in the future.

DOH Lead Violation Penalties
Ignoring a DOH lead violation is inadvisable due to escalating consequences. Initially, property owners may receive warning letters and nominal fines. However, if the issue remains unresolved, penalties increase substantially. Fines can escalate by hundreds of dollars every 30 days, potentially reaching thousands within six months. The DOH can initiate legal proceedings against non-compliant landlords in Housing Court. Judges may impose severe penalties, including substantial daily fines, until the violation is addressed. Delaying lead violation removal is a high-risk strategy, resulting in significantly higher costs for property owners. Our experienced professionals can handle the entire process efficiently!

FAQ'S
If your house was built before 1978, special rules apply when doing any renovation work. That’s because older houses might have lead-based paint, which can be dangerous if not handled properly. The rule is that if you’re fixing up a room and you disturb more than 2 square feet of painted surface, you need to follow safe work practices. This means keeping the dust and mess under control so that no one breathes in any harmful lead dust. These rules are called the EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule, and they help keep everyone safe.
There are two really good ways to get rid of lead paint without making a dangerous mess. One way is called full encapsulation, which means covering up all the lead paint so it can’t make anyone sick. The other way is to carefully take off all the lead paint using special tools like wet scrapers and HEPA vacuums, which keep the dust from flying around. These methods make sure that any lead paint dust and debris are safely trapped and taken away from your home.
Sadly, thousands of children in New York City are affected by lead poisoning every year. Lead poisoning is more likely to happen in older buildings, especially in areas where families might not have a lot of money for home repairs. Lead can cause serious health problems for kids, so it’s super important that we pay attention to any warnings or violations from the Department of Health (DOH) about lead. Fixing these issues helps keep everyone in the community safe and healthy.
