Although lead paint has been banned from New York housing for over 40 years, many landlords have failed to remove this poison from their buildings. Lead paint poisoning can cause injuries including, but not limited to, learning disabilities, brain damage, neuropsychological deficits, attention deficit disorder, hyperactive behavior, anti-social (criminal) behavior, neurological problems, encephalopathy (brain swelling), major organ failure, coma and death.
