EPA v. MULL, GREGORY

Case summary

To protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust and soil, Congress enacted the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. On May 24, 2018, EPA filed an administrative complaint against Mr. Gregory Mull, the owner/lessor of pre-1978 target housing property located in Middleburg and Sunbury, Pennsylvania alleging that Mr. Mull failed to comply with the Disclosure Rule?s notification and disclosure requirements before leasing target housing property to tenants where young children were present. One of the tenants reported that their young child had been diagnosed with an elevated blood lead level. By this action, EPA hopes to ensure that landlords provide tenants with information necessary to prevent childhood lead poisoning in homes that may contain lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. No specific penalty was plead in the 15 count complaint and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been notified of this action.
