## Summary

Respondent violated the Lead Disclosure Rule. EPA performed an inspection on June 4, 2019 and sought a penalty with a possible full remittance if certain conditions were met. This Remittance Order is issued pursuant to Section 16(a)(2)(C), 15 U.S.C. 2615(a)(2)(C), of the Toxic Substances Control (TSCA), which permits the Administrator to  compromise, modify, or remit, with or without conditions, any civil penalty  and Paragraph 51 of the Consent Agreement and Final Order (CA/FO), resolving the named Respondent's violations of TSCA and its lead-based paint regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 745, Subpart F (Lead Disclosure Rule). Issued on September 22, 2023, the CA/FO both assessed a penalty of $252,000 and set out EPA's agreement to remit the full $252,000 penalty on the condition the Respondent perform the work obligations specified in the CA/FO. EPA determined the Respondent met all the conditions for remittance. By completion of these conditions, Respondent has fully satisfied its obligations pursuant to the CA/FO, dated September 22, 2023. The Agency therefore remits in full the $252,000 penalty.
