Lead Enforcement Ordinance brings consequences for landlords’ inaction
Statement of Common Council President José G. Pérez July 28, 2022
I am grateful to my colleagues for their support in passing CCFN 190927 during today’s Common Council meeting. I am also proud that in the buildup to this ordinance’s passage, the Coalition on Lead Emergency assisted in providing valuable input that informed us on the community’s needs and concerns.
Overall, the Lead Enforcement Ordinance provides new and improved measures to punish those who neglect lead nuisances, while also preventing them before they can occur, creating safer living spaces for children, families, and individuals across Milwaukee.
