Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Residential Lead-
Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act

    Notice is hereby given that on August 19, 2014 a proposed Consent 
Decree in United States v. Meyer Management, Inc., Civil Action No. 
1:14-cv-664 was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
Southern District of Ohio.
    The consent decree settles claims against the owner and manager of 
224 housing units in 136 separate properties located in or near 
Cincinnati, Ohio. The claims were brought on behalf of the 
Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction 
Act, 42 U.S.C. 4851 et seq. (``Lead Hazard Reduction Act''). The United 
States alleged in the complaint that the Defendant failed to make one 
or more of the disclosures or to complete one or more of the disclosure 
activities required by the Lead Hazard Reduction Act.
    Under the Consent Decree, the Defendant will certify that it is 
complying with residential lead paint notification requirements. The 
Defendant will submit a plan for window replacement work and will 
replace all windows known to or believed to contain lead-based paint in 
these 224 housing units owned or managed by Defendant that are not 
certified lead-based paint free. In addition, Defendant will abate 
lead-based paint hazards on friction and impact surfaces, stabilize 
other lead-based paint hazards, and pay an administrative penalty of 
$7,500.
