Second, Sycamore maintains that G.L.c. Ill, §197, the lead-paint statute, is violated when a residential property owner with actual knowledge of the existence of lead paint in premises occupied by children under the age of 6 fails to remove the lead paint. From that, it follows, in Sycamore’s view, that the mere existence of lead paint in a residential premises occupied by children under the age of 6, without the landlord’s knowledge, is not a violation of the statute. Sycamore therefore claims that it did not violate G.L.c. Ill, §197 because it took steps to remove the lead paint promptly upon becoming aware of its existence.
