EPA v. Fort III Group, L.P.

Case summary

Respondent's building, located at 270 Fort Washington Ave., NY, NY, went co-op in the 1970s. It was built in 1920. According to the lease files reviewed, very few of them contained any lead-based paint disclosure information. Although this building only has 36 units, the individual units are managed by at least four different partnerships (we know of the following: Fort I Group, L.P., Fort II Group, L.P., Fort III Group, L.P., and Fort IV Group, L.P.). The co-op situation is pertinent since most landlords and owners think that the disclosure rule doesn't apply to co-ops. EPA would like to see that all the residents of the building are given the required disclosure information
