Text

(b) Paint on the exposed surfaces of the interior of a tenement house shall not be cracked, chipped, blistered, flaking, loose, or peeling so as to constitute a health hazard. Testing, remediation, abatement and management of lead-based paint at a tenement house or its premises shall be as defined in, and in accordance with, the regulations, if any, adopted pursuant to section 19a-111c .

Presence of lead paint in violation of section constitutes negligence per se; section does not impose strict liability on landlords; because section does not modify common law elements of landlord premises liability, notice is relevant to tenant's cause of action. 235 C. 360.

Cited. 35 CA 126; judgment reversed, see 235 C. 360; 40 CA 219.
