Showing ordinances that apply to Huntington Station, NY
Huntington Station is an unincorporated community (population 34,878) in Suffolk County, New York. Because Huntington Station is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Suffolk County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The lead paint rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Suffolk County pre-1978 housing is subject to EPA RRP Rule and NY Public Health Law Article 13 Title 10. Landlords must disclose known lead hazards (federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act). NY State Department of Health operates lead poisoning prevention program; Suffolk County DHS conducts case investigation.
Federal law (40 CFR Part 745) requires EPA-certified RRP contractors for renovation work disturbing more than 6 sq ft interior or 20 sq ft exterior of painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes. Landlords and sellers must provide EPA 'Protect Your Family from Lead' pamphlet and Lead Disclosure Form. NY Public Health Law Article 13 Title 10 requires universal blood lead screening of children at 1 and 2 years old. Suffolk County DHS Lead Poisoning Prevention Program investigates elevated blood lead levels (5+ mcg/dL), orders abatement of lead hazards in the child's environment, and can require inspection of the unit. NYC-style proactive lead inspection (Local Law 1) does not apply in Suffolk County - enforcement is complaint-driven plus pediatric screening.
Federal RRP violation: up to 37,500 dollars per violation per day. NY Public Health Law abatement order non-compliance: 500-2,000 dollars per day plus potential criminal charges for willful endangerment of child.
