The Department of Justice has lodged a proposed consent decree in a lawsuit against Lilmor Management LLC and others for not disclosing lead-based paint hazards and failing to follow safe renovation practices. This action was taken under the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act. As part of the settlement, the defendants must pay penalties and take measures to fix lead paint issues and other poor living conditions. The State of New York is also involved and will receive compensation and establish a fund to address tenant issues. The public can comment on this decree for 30 days following the notice's publication.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Justice is making a company pay money and fix homes because they didn't tell people about dangerous paint and didn't do safe home repairs. People can share their thoughts about this plan for 30 days.
