An examination of lead paint poisoning cases in other jurisdictions leads this court to the conclusion that the decision reached above, although one of first impression, is consistent with those reached by courts that have decided such cases in other jurisdictions. Massachusetts imposes striet liability because a statute imposes an obligation to remove or cover the offending material. In a New York case, a landlord was held hable because a code section similar to New Haven’s existed and the court found negligence in the failure to keep the premises in proper repair. Acosta v. Irdank *287 Realty Corporation, 38 Misc. 2d 859, 860-61, 238 N.Y.S.2d 713 (1963).
