## Summary

On April 18, 2018, the Regional Judicial Officer ratified a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) between EPA Region III and Metropolitan Management Group, Inc. (Respondent), a Pennsylvania residential and commercial property management services firm in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. The CAFO settles and resolves Respondent's liability for alleged violations of TSCA, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, and a regulation commonly known as the  Disclosure Rule . The alleged violations pertain to the Respondent's failure to comply with the Disclosure Rule Agent responsibilities, requiring target housing leasing agents to ensure compliance with Disclosure Rule requirements. Specifically, EPA alleges that in two lease agreements, the Respondent failed to ensure that lessees were provided with: a required Lead Warning Statement; a statement disclosing the presence of any known lead based paint in the target housing, or indicating no knowledge of the presence of lead based paint and/or lead based paint hazards; a statement affirming each lessee?s receipt of required lead-based paint information and of the required lead hazard pamphlet; and a statement indicating that the Respondent had informed the target housing lessors of their Disclosure Rule obligations and that the Respondent was aware of its duty to ensure the lessors' respective Disclosure Rule compliance. The settlement requires the Respondent to pay a $20,500 civil penalty.
