EPA v. Precision Consulting, Inc. (SB)

Case summary

As a result of a tenant tip/complaint, EPA discovered the Respondent, at last known address conducted a lead-based paint abatement project in a residential apartment in Ridgewood (Queens), NY in 2012 without submitting the mandatory pre-abatement notification to EPA. Pursuant to EPA's pilot Expedited Settlement Agreement (ESA) policy, an agreement for a fine of $1,000, and coming into compliance with applicable regulations, was proposed to the Respondent. The Respondent failed to settle the matter through the ESA process, therefore on January 8, 2015, EPA initiated a civil administrative Complaint seeking the standard penalty of $15,300 and regulatory compliance. When no proof of receipt (by Respondent) was obtained subsequent to mailing of the Complaint, an amended Complaint was issued on August 18, 2015, via attempted process server to one Respondent, as well as certified mail to the person identified in corporate filings as the agent upon whom process against it may be served.
