In the event of failure to comply with a  notice  and  demand,  the   commissioner  or his or her representative shall take enforcement action   as deemed appropriate by the commissioner or his or her  representative,   which  may  include  conducting  a  formal  hearing  upon  due notice in   accordance with the provisions of section twelve-a of this  chapter  and   on proof of violation of such notice and demand may order abatement of a   paint  condition  conducive  to lead poisoning upon such terms as may be   appropriate and may assess a penalty not to  exceed  two  thousand  five   hundred  dollars  for  such violation; provided, however, that abatement   shall not be ordered if the respondent  proves  by  a  preponderance  of   evidence  at  such  hearing  that  a  paint  condition conducive to lead   poisoning in the designated dwelling does not exist.4. A notice required by this section may be served upon  an  owner  or   occupant  of  the dwelling or agent of the owner in the same manner as a   summons in a civil action or by registered or certified mail to his last   known address or place of residence.5.

§  1385.  Legislative intent.  Sites formerly operated as landfills to   dispose of toxic substances are exposing the citizens of  the  state  to   unnecessary  hazards,  the  duration  and extent of which is unknown.

The   potential hazard believed to exist at a specific landfill  site  in  the   county  of  Niagara,  has  precipitated the need for immediate action to   authorize the department of  health  to  undertake  such  study  and  to   conduct  a pilot program to evaluate the effect of individual corrective   systems in affected residences.
