The jury reasonably could have found the following facts. In 1984, the plaintiffs and Kendall Copeland moved into an apartment located at 400 Atlantic Street in Bridgeport. On May 22, 1985, Audrey Gaines, a program coordinator for the Bridgeport department of *364health, inspected the plaintiffs’ apartment for the presence of lead. Gaines tested the surfaces of the apartment using a portable X-ray machine, which measured the amount of lead within the paint on the surfaces. This testing revealed that some surfaces contained more than five tenths of 1 percent lead by weight, the federal statutory standard then codified in 42 U.S.C. § 48412 and incorporated by § 47a-8. On the basis of the results of this inspection, Gaines sent notification to the landlord3 and requested that it abate the lead in the plaintiffs’ apartment. On August 26, 1985, Gaines reinspected the apartment and determined that all lead hazards had been abated.
