I rent my apartment from an owner of a condominium and my child was poisoned by lead based paint that was chipping on a friction surface. Is my child afforded the protections of Local Law #1 of 2004 or will the child be excluded from the protections of Local Law #1 under 27-2056.15 ( c )?

The provisions of the law provide that the owner and his or her family are excluded from many of the protections of Local Law #1 of 2004.  There is another related provision of the law 28 R.C.N.Y. Section 11-12 which makes clear, in our view, that the exclusion provided under Section 27-2056.15 ( c )  applies only to the owner and his or her immediate family. This appears to exclude the sub-leasing family for the exclusion of that law.
