Lead Paint Windows
Boston, MA: (Feb-23-08) The US Environmental Protection Agency brought charges against Boston-based Chestnut Hill Realty, alleging that the owner failed to notify renters in the Boston area and Rhode Island about lead paint risks. The suit stated that as per federal laws, tenants must be notified about health risks in homes with lead paint. The EPA says inspections at five properties managed by Chestnut Hill turned up violations at each location.
As part of a settlement reached, Chestnut Hill agreed to pay $320,000 to resolve allegations. The deal requires the firm to pay a penalty of more than $28,000. The bulk of Chestnut Hill's settlement cost comes from a nearly $290,000 program to replace windows containing lead-based paint at a property in Cambridge. Company spokespersons stated that Chestnut Hill President George McHugh says his company has taken corrective actions to make sure lead paint notification laws are followed.
