In order to address the plaintiffs’ issues concerning the directed verdict as to the strict liability counts, we must first distinguish the plaintiffs’ claims of negligence per se. The parties intimate that these two causes of action are virtually identical. Both actions are grounded in claims that the defendants violated (1) General Statutes §§ 47a-8 and 47a-7, which together provide that the presence of paint containing lead in excess of certain federally prescribed standards or of certain flaking or peeling paint that constitutes a health hazard renders certain rental premises uninhabitable,5 and (2) General Statutes § 47a-54f, which proscribes certain flaking or peeling paint that constitutes a health hazard.
