DETAILS
Legal Aid filed the lawsuit on behalf of a toddler who was poisoned in 2016 in the West Side rental home where she lived with her parents and siblings. Legal Aid argued that city health officials failed to notify her parents for months after a city investigation showed extremely high levels of lead dust in the home, including in the child’s playroom.
The case was about more than one child, Legal Aid attorney said at the time.
