The audit was conducted by the Agency for environmental protection of the United States. In the building discovered the festering mountains of garbage, rodents and poisonous lead dust. The lead content was elevated in four samples out of five. On the stairs is fixed focus, which is almost 10 times higher than the standard. Residents complain of a burning sensation in the throat and the feeling of sand in your mouth. Many decided to leave the building and move.
Who would not go — tired to swallow the dust… lead
Evil tongues have long suspected developers in narocnem the use of such methods of repair for survival of the residents. Those who now live in these areas pay for long-term contracts a fixed price for accommodation. But new York and specifically Manhattan and Brooklyn, more expensive. And the owners would like to replace the existing collapsed home on premium housing, earning him more. Lead, of course, more humane fire, which made cleaning of the private sector under the skyscrapers in many post-Soviet territories, but doctors say that lead causes many adverse health effects, including increased blood pressure, worsening renal function, children under the age of six years may be faced with developmental delays, behavioral problems and learning disabilities, and anemia.
Williamsburg, where dancing steel, sings lead…
Earlier 19 residents who rent apartments on 18 Kent Ave in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), went to the Prosecutor’s office that they deliberately corrode from homes with lead dust. Ostensibly in order to conduct repairs and converted residential premises for a more expensive class the company’s commitment to getting rid of the current tenants consistently paying housing according to the existing contract.
Applicants believe that Kushner Cos deliberately in the course of construction works Austin Nichols house made emissions of toxic and hazardous substances, including lead. Residents of this facility and had previously made complaints regarding the maintenance of the house, the presence of rodents and dirt.
Kushner Cos claims that the work was done in both cases in strict accordance with the rules, and the lead was not used. However, as it turned out, the building, built in the first half of the last century, it was painted with paint that contains lead and could give specific dust during the works. Also during the inspection in Williamsburg suspect that for obtaining permission for construction works, the company has issued to the house of false documents, as in empty, that is, without tenants.
