The work started today and there is already paint chips and debris all over our back yard. I have two young children (18 months) who go back there almost daily and will put anything in their mouths. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to deal with this situation, other than just cleaning thoroughly myself daily or giving up the yard for the rest of the summer? Are there any guidelines or requirements that the workers have to follow? I am not too worried about preserving friendly relations since this elderly woman has hated us since we moved in and vacillates between pretending we don&#8217;t exist and shooting us death rays when she sees us on the street.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, do we have any recourse against her? I have no idea if this is lead based paint, but as I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s done nothing on her house in decades I would not be surprised if it is.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for all suggestions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My neighbor, an elderly woman, is having some work done on the back of her brownstone &#8211; I guess chipping away old paint and then repainting, or maybe repointing the bricks.
