There are numerous judges, elected officials, and other commentators in Baltimore who have suggested that in certain circumstances lead poisoning (plumbism) cases are " indefensible."
At our law firm, we most respectfully disagree. It is our position and successful experience that there are always defenses available in these cases.
Lead poisoning claims can be defended on a number of lawful grounds. We know --- we use them.
But, for now, let's talk about the subject of some Baltimore City Lead Paint Laws and Regulations:
(1) To begin, pursuant to Baltimore Building, Fire and Related Codes, Property Maintenance Code, Section 301.4, lead-based paint hazards must be abated in accordance with this section.
(2) The applicable dwelling (residential) units must be the subject of notices or orders for treatment of lead paint; become unoccupied either before the notice or order is served, or become unoccupied while the notice or order is still outstanding.
(3) When a child is identified as having an elevated blood lead level (EBLL), the Health Commissioner must request that the Health Department conduct an environmental investigation.
(4) If the Health Commissioner determines the existence of lead hazards, the Commissioner must issue a "Violation Notice & Order to Abate Lead Hazards" to the owner notifying him or her of the existence of lead hazards and ordering the abatement of hazards within a time period not to exceed 30 days, unless ordered by the Commissioner (Section 3-101(d)).
