My child attends a day care facility and I observed chipping paint from a baseboard. The building was built before World War II and I am concerned. Does this violate the law?

Yes. Section 17-911 of The Administrative Code of the City of New York, provides that there shall be no peeling lead-based paint in any portion of a day care facility. Section 17-910 provides that all paint or surface coating material on the interior of any day care center is presumed to be lead-based paint.
