A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to permanent removal of lead-based paint

This bill requires schools to conduct regular surveys and inspections for lead-based paint hazards, the results of which will be made publicly available and delivered to parents and guardians. This bill also requires HPD to, when conducting certain inspections, determine whether there has been a violation of the requirement to remediate lead hazards when a unit turns over. Finally, this bill establishes a presumption that a building owner who is unable to provide a record of having completed required lead hazard remediation at turnover has violated the relevant provisions.
