The EPA received a tip/complaint alleging the Respondent was violating the Renovation, Repair & Painting Rule while painting homes in Wappingers Falls, NY. An Information Request Letter was sent to the Respondent to further assess compliance, and the response indicated violations. An ÂOpportunity to Show Cause for Violations letter was issued and a penalty was sought. The Respondent is a microbusiness and demonstrated a financial inability-to-pay for the original proposed penalty, therefore the final penalty was reduced accordingly.
