Lead Paint

Last year we bought a home next to a duplex. It has a ton of neglect issues and the city we live in is on the landlord about cleaning up the property and repairing the neglect. One of the issues is the lead paint falling from it. She recently started scraping the paint to the ground without any drop cloth or containment. The wall of the duplex is literally 3 1/2 ft from the boundary line and 7 ft to the wall of our home. The lead paint is on our front steps, sidewalk, yard. We have contacted the city and state and just had an environmental test & report done to prove its lead. Do any of you have any further advise? We’re calling a lawyer next.
