Because there is a child under the age of (6)years residing there, you, as owner, are required to take immediate action to correct the problem. While a Lead determination has been conducted it does not constitute a comprehensive lead paint inspection. Therefore, under authority of 105 CMR 410 and 105 CMR 460, you are hereby ordered to conduct a comprehensive lead inspection by a licensed lead inspector prior to commencing any de-leading work and in no case less than fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice. I have enclosed a list of Lead Inspectors that are in the area. Please contact the Board of Heatth office with any questions concerning this notice. Very truly David E. Koch Sanitary Inspector CERTIFIED MAIL#7099 3220 0009 9338 9539 cc: Frederick Breeden All occupants and pets must be out of the dwelling unit for the entire time that interior deleading work is in progress. They may not return until a licensed private inspector approves re-occupancy by conducting an on-site re-inspection of the unit; this will be done after the final deleading cleanup. De-leaded surfaces are not to be repainted until after the inspector gives approval. All work is td be done in a workmanlike manner, and the dwelling must be returned to a condition that meets the requirements of Chapter II of the State Sanitary Code. Scraped surfaces must be feathered and made smooth by the deleader prior to re- painting. (Repaint only afterre-inspection). Deleaded windows and doors must have all panes of glass intact and must be weathertight. You are required to provide written notice of the presence of lead paint to all other occupants of the building. "Notice to Tenants of Lead Paint Hazards" is enclosed for that purpose. You are also required to send a copy of this inspection report and the enclosed order to all mortgagees and lienholders of record. Questions regarding Department of Labor and Industries regulations should be addressed to the DLI office (617-727-1932). Questions regarding the Department of Public Health regulations should be addressed to the CLPPP, Western Regional Office (413-586-7525) or Central Regional Office (800-532-9571), or the Northampton Board of Health (413-587-1213). David o han Inspector Date: June 14, 2000 Mr. George E. Quinn 199 Front Street Leeds, MA 01053 Dear Mr. Quinn A lead paint determination was made of the property owned by you at 17 Chestnut Street. Leeds. MA by David E. Kochan of the Northampton Board of Health on June 13. 2000. This determination revealed the presence of lead paint in violation of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 111, Section 197. Please contact this office at 587 — 1217 as soon as possible to discuss your responsibilities in this case, and the material enclosed. Massachusetts Lead Poisoning Prevention regulations require that you provide to this office, within 60 (sixty) days of your receipt of this letter, a written contract with a licensed deleader to abate all lead violations existing in the dwelling unit, including interior and exterior common areas. You must provide the deleading contractor with a complete inspection report from a licensed lead paint inspector. The deleading contract must be signed by the contractor and by you; it must specify that all violations on the interior of the unit and the interior common areas will be deleaded within ninety (90) days of your receipt of this letter, and that all exterior violations and/or window replacement will be complete within one hundred and twenty (120) days. This department is required by law to file a case against you in court if it has not received a copy of the deleading contract by the sixty-first day, or if the above timelines for interior and exterior deleading compliance are not adhered to as documented by a private lead paint inspector. In a criminal case, you may be fined by the court up to $500 for each day of non-compliance. Only contractors licensed by the Department of Labor and Industries as deleading contractors may engage in the removal, covering, or replacement of lead hazards. Neither you or nor anyone in your employ nor the occupants of this unit may remove or cover any lead paint unless that person is a licensed de-leading contractor. The contractor must provide written notification to the Department of Labor and Industries, all residential occupants, the Board of Health, and the State Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) at least five (5) days before any deleading work begins. It is your responsibility, as owner of the premises, to make sure that the contractor sends the completed forms to all parties. LEAD DETERMINATIONS REPORT Date of Determination: June 13, 2000 Inspector: David E. Kochan Method Used: Sodium Sulfide solution Property Address: 17 Chestnut Avenue, Leeds, MA 01053 Description of Property: Two Family, tat & 2nd Floor Units Age of Property: Pre-1978 Occupat: Frederick Breeden Occuoant(s) under six years of age: Noel Anderson DOB: 8 Mos. Occupant's Telephone: 413-584-3437 Property Owner(s): George E Quinn Owners Address: 100 Front Street Leeds, MA 01053 Owners Telephone: 413-584-2021 An x-ray fluorescence reading greater than 1.2 mg/cm2 or a gray or black reaction to sodium sulfide indicates an illegal level of lead and constitutes a positive determination. Any removal, replacement, or covering of lead paint as a result of this report or subsequent inspection must be performed only by a deleading contractor licensed by the Department of Labor and Industries. Test Results 1 Side Exterior Entry Foyer White heavily checked paint on all walls Black Strong Positive 2. Kitchen Exterior Window Sill(porch side) —Grayish white checked paint Black Strong Positive 3. Kitchen Exterior Window Sill(behind counter)—Grayish white checked paint Black Strong Positive 4. Living Room Bay Window Right — Grayish white checked paint Black Strong Positive EXHIBIT A Disclaimer Concerning Lead Determination Rep2R The information contained in this report concerning the presence or absence of lead paint does not constitute a comprehensive lead paint inspection. The surfaces tested represent only a small portion of those surfaces that would be tested to determine whether the premises are in compliance with the Massachusetts Lead Poisoning Prevention Law (Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 111, Sections 190— 199A). Serious lead poisoning hazards are created when materials containing lead paint are disturbed, unless proper safety guidelines are followed. Therefore, Massachusetts law requires that: Any deleading work done on the premises must be done by a certified or licensed deleader. Letters of Compliance will be withheld if unauthorized de- leading has occurred. Any renovating or rehabilitation of premises containing dangerous levels of lead paint must be done in compliance with the procedures set forth in the regulations issued by the Department of Labor and Industries (454 CMR 22.11), including sealing off the work area from adjacent areas, and using a HEPA vacuum and TSP for final cleanup. Any deleading work done on the basis of this report will not qualify the owner or occupant for a state tax credit, nor will the cost of such deleading be reimbursable under any state loan or grant programs. In order to qualify for such programs, the premises must first be subject to a comprehensive lead paint inspection. If a child under six (6) resides in this dwelling, the owner may face criminal or civil liabilities unless all lead paint violations have been corrected. This lead report cannot assure that the property owner has met his or her obligations under the law. It is unlawful for rental property owners to use the presence of lead as the basis for discrimination against tenants or potential tenants with young children.

Leeds MA. Children exposed to lead paint hazards are at risk of contracting lead poisoning. This disease affects the normal behavioral and intellectual development of children, especially children under the age of six (6) years. If you have children under six (6) years of age, it is important that they be screened for lead poisoning on a periodic basis. If your child has not been screened recently, you should request your child's doctor or health care provider to perform the screening. Screening is the only way lead poisoning can be detected. Since lead paint has been found in a unit in this dwelling, it is quite possible that your unit may have lead paint too. If you have children under six (60 years of age, you are advised to speak to your landlord about having your apartment inspected for lead paint. You can call the Northampton Board of Health for a lead inspection, or call 1- 800-532-9571 for further advice. It is against Massachusetts law for landlords to discriminate against tenants because of lead paint hazards in their apartment, or to threaten or take reprisals against tenants. You will receive a notice five (50 days in advance of the date on which de-leading will begin in the unit stated above. While deleading is being conducted, keep your children out of the areas being worked on. Common hallways, staircases and porches may be deleaded. Use an alternative staircase during this process. If your unit is on the same floor on which de-leading work is being done, be sure that your doorway is temporarily sealed with masking tape or similar material so that fine lead dust cannot be blown in, around or under the door. If you do not have an alternative means of exit from your apartment, speak to your landlord or the deleading.contractor, to coordinate the work. Check windowsills and doorways for visible dust after deleading. Lead dust can be cleaned up with a high phosphate detergent, like tri-sodium phosphate (TSP). If you notice lead dust from de-leading in your apartment, notify the de-leading contractor. Properly conducted, deleading work should not result in lead dust contamination of your dwelling. If lead paint dust or paint debris is not properly cleaned up at the end of the workday, or if work areas are not properly contained to prevent dust and debris from being dispersed, notify your landlord or call the Department of Labor and Industries or the Northampton Board of Health (413-587-1213). RESIDENTIAL LEAD ABATEMENT ADVISORY The process of abating lead paint is very dangerous. For this reason, the Department of Labor and Industries' Deleading regulations, 454 CMR 22.00, require that only a certified or licensed deleading contractor can remove or cover lead paint, or replace a fixture or surface coated with lead paint. Regulations for Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control, 105 CMR 460.000, have additional requirements to make sure occupants of a dwelling unit are not exposed to lead hazards. The most important requirement is that the dwelling unit not be occupied while the unit is being deleaded. It is very important that the occupants think carefully about what their daily needs will be during the time they are away from home, and take along all that they will need. No one should return to a dwelling unit undergoing deleading. Both property owners and tenants must take their responsibilities seriously and cooperate fully to assure the protection of all concerned. Tenants, property owners or other residents should not interfere with the work being completed safely. Tenants of the unit to be deleaded and other residents must receive written notification at least five (50 days prior to the beginning of any lead paint removal/abatement. All furnishings and possessions of every type should be removed or stored in plastic bags in non-work areas. This includes all children's clothing, toys, stuffed animals, bedding, etc. Everything should be removed and closets must be emptied. Possessions not removed from the work area should be put in plastic bags and left in the center of the room, only as a last resort. The reason for this extensive precautionary measure is to protect every household article from lead dust contamination. Very fine dust is extremely hazardous and especially difficult to remove. A very thorough final cleanup will be conducted by the deleader no sooner than twenty-four (24) hours after the completion of active deleading. This is to ensure that fine airborne particulate will settle out and be removed in the final cleanup. Occupants can return only after a lead inspector determines that a residential premises or dwelling unit is safe for occupants to return to through the re-occupancy inspection. Occupants should leave a phone number where they can be reached so that the inspector can notify them when it is safe to return home. While there is no substitute for deleading and thorough cleanup to protect children from lead exposure, there are some important steps that can be taken even before deleading occurs. Your public lead inspector's advice and counsel should be carefully followed because of their personal knowledge of your child's home environment. As part of their normal behavior, young children place things in their mouths, especially toys, and their own fingers. If there are paint chips and dust in your home, they may end up in your child's mouth. Children's toys pick up lead dust, as will food and candy that falls on the floor and most of all, their fingers. It is especially important to wash your child's toys, and to try to keep your child's hands clean, particularly at meal time. escrow (separated savings) account. If these conditions are met, occupants may not be evicted for non-payment of rent or for any other cause which is not the fault of the occupants. However, However, as soon as the violation is certified as having been corrected, all withheld monies may have to paid to the owner. (4) "Rent Receivership". M.G.L. C. 111, ss. 127C to 127J). The occupants and/or the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program may petition the court to allow rent to be paid into court rather than to the owner, provided that the occupant is up to date in rent. The court may then appoint a "receiver" who may spend as much of the rent money as is needed to correct the viola- tion. (5) Abatement of Rent. May be awarded through a court action under decisions of the Massa- chusetts Supreme Court Judicial Court case, Boston Housing Authority vs. Hemingway, 293 NE3d 831, 363 Mass 184 (1973). In such an action, the court determines the value of the premises with violations and reduces the amount of rent due. (6) Landlord Liability - Compensatory and Punitive Damages. Pursuant to M.G.L. C. 111, s. 199, the owner of any residential premises is financially liable for all damages associated with a case of childhood lead poisoning arising from his/her failure to abate lead paint, plaster or other lead hazards when a child under six years of age will reside or resides in the premises. The owner of any dwelling unit or residential premises, who is notified of a dangerous level of lead in paint, plaster or other material present upon his or her premises, and who does not satisfactorily cor- rect or remove the dangerous conditions,shall in addition to actual damages, be subject to puni- tive damages, which are three times the actual damages found. REPAINTING Violations of the Lead Law constitute violations of the State Sanitary Code. Although repainting o surfaces from which lead paint or other coatings have been removed is not required for compliance witl the Regulations for Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control,repainting of such surfaces is required under the State Sanitary Code, 105 CMR 410.021. It is important that deleaded surfaces be sealed and can bi easily cleaned. Repainting of deleaded surfaces may not occur until after the surfaces have beer reinspected while bare and approved for repainting by a licensed lead inspector. Repainting of deleaded surfaces on the interior of the dwelling unit and interior common areas must bt completed within thirty days of the reoccupancy reinspection. Exterior surfaces must be repainted withir thirty days of the compliance reinspection. This requirement does not apply to surfaces where lead paint has been covered or a new fixture or surface installed to replace a leaded one. Tenants are advised to call their local board of health if the required repainting is not completed as stipulated above.
