Proactive identification and inspection of multiple dwellings where children are at risk of lead poisoning.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the proactive identification and inspection of multiple dwellings where children are at risk of lead poisoning

This local law would create a proactive inspection requirement for buildings selected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The departments would identify at least 200 residential buildings each year that may pose a risk of lead exposure to children who reside in such buildings and proactively inspect such buildings for lead-based paint violations.
