Your next steps

  1. Keep children away from peeling paint. Wash hands, toys, pacifiers, window sills and floors often, and keep children away from rooms where repair work makes dust. Don't sand, scrape or repaint old paint yourself, because that creates lead dust.
  2. Get your child tested. If you think your child was exposed, get a blood lead test from the doctor now. At age 1, and once more at age 2, New York also requires the test. How the test works
  3. Put your complaint in writing. Tell your landlord about the peeling paint, and whether a child under age 6 lives at 1240 Sherman Avenue. Free letters in English and Spanish
  4. Report the problem to HPD. Call 311, or report it online, about peeling paint or repair work that makes dust. Filing is free, and your immigration status doesn't matter.
  5. Child tested high for lead? Follow the doctor's plan for retesting, then talk to a lead paint lawyer about the building's record: call (888) 503-5930.

These lead orders in plain English

Local Law 1 of 2004 is the city's lead paint law, and these orders were issued under it. Lead paint is presumed in buildings built before 1960, and owners get extra duties for apartments where a child under 6 lives.

  • 8 open: peeling lead paint to fix. The paint here contains lead, or is presumed to, and it is peeling or sits on damaged surfaces. Repairing it is the owner's job, using lead-safe work methods.
  • 1 open: young children: tenants not asked, or no lead check. The owner failed to send the yearly notice asking whether the apartment has a child under 6, or failed to check for lead hazards.
  • 1 open: lead records not handed to HPD. The building's lead paint records, covering notices, inspections and repairs, were requested by HPD, but the owner didn't send them within 45 days.

HPD uses class C for a condition that is immediately hazardous. A closed order is one where HPD accepted a repair, or proof from the owner. Of the lead orders here, 10 are closed.

A closed order is one where HPD has accepted a repair, or proof from the owner, for it. That doesn't mean the entire building is lead-safe.
