MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
TRAGER, District Judge.
Infant plaintiff Christian Valencia, by his mother and natural guardian, Teresa Franco, brings this action against Sung M. Lee and Shiu Chun Lee (the “Lees”), owners of the apartment in which they lived, and the City of New York (the “City”) seeking compensatory damages for developmental injuries Christian sustained from exposure to lead paint. At a six day bench trial, causation of plaintiffs disabilities was fiercely contested and their severity was somewhat disputed. Otherwise, the factual background of the case was largely undisputed.
