Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown and Maryland Department of the Environment Secretary Serena McIlwain announced the filing of a lawsuit against the owner of the tower on Baltimore’s Television Hill, and Skyline Tower Painting Inc for alleged violations of Maryland law that led to lead paint chips raining down on the surrounding communities. The complaint, filed in Baltimore City Circuit Court, describes a project to remove lead paint from the television tower that was carried out with little-to-no containment methods by an unaccredited contractor. The complaint describes the health hazards that lead paint exposure presents to young children.
