EPA v. Trenton Housing Authority

Case summary

Respondent violated the Lead Disclosure Rule and the RRP Rule. EPA inspected THA on March 16 and 23, 2023. Based on the inspections on March 16 and 23, 2023, EPA determined the Respondent between at least January 2020 to March 2023, deprived tenants of important and required lead information when leasing multiple apartment units in both Mayor Donnelly and Woodrow Wilson developments. Further, EPA determined the Respondent had no understanding of the RRP Rule prior to EPA?s inspections and took no steps to protect tenants during renovations. EPA alleges that between January 2020 and March 2023, Respondent's staff performed at least 10 renovations at both developments in violation of the RRP Rule. EPA is seeking a penalty with a possible full remittance if certain conditions are met. Respondent has already implemented significant injunctive relief and will maintain compliance.
