We also note that in the count of their complaint alleging negligence per se and strict liability, the plaintiffs cited to § 19-13-B1 (i) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. Section 19-13-B1 provides in pertinent part: “The following conditions are specifically declared to constitute public nuisances . . . (i) Buildings or any part thereof which are in a dilapidated or filthy condition which may endanger the life or health of persons living in the vicinity.” (Emphasis added.) We conclude that the regulation, in discussing dilapidated and filthy buildings, does not contemplate the specific harm of lead-based paint poisoning to a minor child. As a result, a violation of this statute could not constitute negligence per se in this context.
