The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) has announced it has completed abatement work at more than 10,000 apartments over the last three years, signaling significant progress in lead-free housing initiatives.
In response to a 2019 agreement with HUD, NYCHA is taking essential steps to comply with federal lead protection laws to protect children from the hazards of lead poisoning.
Reviewing its compliance history, NYCHA was previously found to have filed false documents regarding inspections, highlighting the need for serious corrective measures in past practices.
With lead paint banned since 1960 and federally since 1978, ongoing testing and removal has become crucial for safety, especially in older housing developments.
