We recommend that the Director of HUD’s Newark, NJ, Office of Community Planning and Development instruct City officials to collect and test lead dust samples from the floors and window sills of the 27 homeowner units that received CDBG funds in program years 2012 and 2013 to ensure that the lead dust does not exceed the allowable lead dust standards. If the tests reveal the existence of excessive lead dust, City officials need to reduce the lead dust to the allowable limit, or reimburse the City’s CDBG line of credit from non-Federal funds for disbursements previously made to repair those 27 units.
