WASHINGTON, D.C. - Attorney General Karl A. Racine today announced an area developer and landlord agreed to pay a $35,000 penalty for violating the District’s lead paint laws and misleading tenants about the presence of toxic lead paint.
Today’s settlement resolves an investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) into violations of District laws by Meredith Lyda and Shaw Mostashari, and several corporations under their control, for failing to disclose the presence of lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards to tenants in residential properties.
