Baltimore and D.C. are difficult places to be landlords and landowners of residential properties that were built prior to 1978. One of the major reasons for this difficulty is the fact that lead-based paint poisoning in certain neighborhoods of these cities is a public health crisis.
The fact is there are some judges, public officials and commentators in Baltimore and D.C. who have suggested that in certain circumstances lead poisoning cases are "indefensible."
In truth, however, lead-based paint poisoning cases can be defended on a number of grounds, including: (1) challenging the Center for Disease Control's (CDC's) assertion that a certain low blood-lead level can result in decreased IQ, learning disabilities, and psychological, neurological, and behavioral injuries; (2) showing that the lead poisoning could have accrued due to factors outside of the landlord's control, such as leaded water, leaded toys, factories, gasoline stations, bridges, pottery, certain foods, etc.; and (3) keeping thorough records of proper maintenance of the property by the landlord: maintenance and documentation of maintenance.
Landlords must be vigilant in consistently having certified-lead professionals do maintenance checks as well as lead-assessment checks on the residential property.
