SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The New York Attorney General’s Office has reached a $310,000 settlement with Syracuse landlord William D’Angelo for repeatedly violating lead safety laws.

The settlement-in-principle with D’Angelo and his company Marpat LLC will force the landlord to pay $310,000, which will be used for a tenant relief fund that will provide payments to families of the children who were lead-poisoned in his properties.

The funds will also be used to identify and resolve all potential lead hazards at D’Angelo’s properties with a history of lead violations.

“William D’Angelo cut corners and failed to address serious lead hazards at his properties, putting countless children and their families in danger,” said James.
