(the Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control Regulations) and various sections of the Connecticut General Statutes.
Greenwich Town Code ch. 4, art. 11 § 4-135 establishes a local lead-poisoning prevention framework designed to protect public health across the Town of Greenwich. It operates alongside Connecticut's statewide Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control Regulations (RCSA § 19a-111-1 et seq.) and relevant sections of the Connecticut General Statutes, rather than replacing them. The provision signals that both local and state-level rules may apply simultaneously to properties and activities within Greenwich.
