Coldwell Banker offices in Lincoln and Somerville are among a handful of the brokerage’s New England offices accused of more than 100 violations of lead paint disclosure laws.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage offices in Lincoln and Somerville; North Haven and Fairfield, Conn.; Dover and Manchester, N.H.; and East Providence, R.I., together committed 102 violations of the Lead Disclosure Rule during 34 real estate transactions between 2005 and 2007. The corporations that own and operate the offices face penalties of up to $11,000 for each violation cited in the complaint.

Federal law requires that landlords and property owners or their agents notify prospective tenants or purchasers about the potential for lead paint hazards in residential properties, the EPA said in a statement.

The two real estate corporations that own the aforementioned offices are NRT New England LLC and Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services LLC, according to the EPA. Both do business as Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

In response to inquiries, a Coldwell Banker spokesman issued the following statement:

"Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage is firmly committed to complying with all legal obligations including the requirements of lead paint disclosure laws. We take our responsibility in this regard very seriously and have in place numerous controls relating to compliance, including appropriate training, instructions on the proper use of disclosure forms and checklists of required forms. We have and continue to fully cooperate with the EPA, and we will continue with our commitment to compliance with lead paint disclosure obligations."
