đź’¨ Abstract

More than 1,400 lead inspection certificates in Maryland have been revoked after three children had elevated lead levels. The Maryland Department of the Environment requires reinspections of affected rental properties due to non-compliance. A lawsuit has been filed against Green Environmental, LLC, and its owner, Rodney Barkley, for lead inspection violations. Barkley also faces criminal charges. Tenants of affected properties are encouraged to have their children tested for lead exposure.
