NYCHA lead paint controversy

About half a million people live in NYCHA housing. Now because of possible lead paint exposure, some local lawmakers are calling it "The New Flint." But the New York City Health Department strongly disagrees. State Sen. Jesse Hamilton said some residents in the Brownville section of Brooklyn told his office that no one from NYCHA has inspected their homes for lead paint and that "lead paint chips are falling like snowflakes." Dr. Mary Bassett, the city's health commissioner, responded.
