Rhode Island landlord sued by AG after 5 children develop lead poisoning in 4 years
Fox News
A lawsuit filed Tuesday by Democratic Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha accused landlord Anurag Sureka of regulatory noncompliance that poses grave health risks to tenants.
Pioneer Investments, which owns and operates more than 175 residential rental units across the state, routinely ignores lead hazard laws, landlord-tenant laws, housing code regulations, and regularly engages in unfair and deceptive trade practices, Neronha said.
Tenants in sworn affidavits have also complained of rodent infestations, deterioration of the building structure, cracking walls and broken windows, and intermittent loss of water and heat, the suit said.
