A damning report this week detailed the city’s failure to hold landlords accountable for lead-tainted apartments — but its revelations were hardly news to the thousands of families stuck in a toxic nightmare.

“It’s awful, because the problem is from the top down,” East Village resident Garvey Rich told The Post, saying he has gotten 10 weeks of runaround and bungling since learning that his toddler son, Aristotle, tested positive for lead.

“There are thousands of bureaucrats working on this, and with so many arcane laws and rules . . . nothing ever gets done,” he said.

“And our kid’s health is at stake.”

The city routinely lets landlords slide when they violate a key provision in the laws requiring lead to be promptly abated, according to a report issued Thursday by city Comptroller Scott Stringer’s office.

Stiff fines — $2,000 for each finding of lead in an apartment — or the threat of having to pay for the city abating the lead through court order are meant to keep landlords in line.

But the city has never once hit a landlord with a violation for failing to remove lead, meaning it has literally done nothing to police the worst-offending landlords, the report alleged.

The report also revealed that because the city was relying on outdated lead standards, the city Health Department had done nothing about 11,972 children who tested positive for dangerous levels of the toxin between 2013 and 2018.

Eric Camacho, 31, a father of two whose East 105th Street apartment in East Harlem tested positive for lead in February, ripped Mayor de Blasio, who said he hadn’t had a chance to read the full comptroller’s report.

It’s “an atrocity,’’ Camacho said. “How can he forget us?”

The family’s apartment was ruled lead-free only in mid-August, Camacho said, although a mold problem continues unabated.

In West Harlem, mom Blanca Quiridumbay said the city has failed her little boy, Axel, who first tested positive for lead in November 2016, at age 5.

Building workers have been in and out of her West 136th Street apartment repeatedly since then, doing so-called “abatement” work, she alleges in a lawsuit against the city.

But the apartment — and Axel — keep retesting positive for lead, most recently three months ago, she told The Post.

“I feel like they robbed him of the years that are most important to his development,” she cried Friday.

Meanwhile, Rich, a 53-year-old freelance marketing consultant, said he was shocked that in the two months since Aristotle’s July 20 blood test, absolutely no abatement work has been done.

Instead, two city agencies — the tenant watchdog Housing Preservation and Development and the Health Department — have made three trips to his three-room, rent-stabilized apartment on 10th Street in Manhattan and plastered his walls with more than three dozen “lead paint” warning stamps and stickers.

Meanwhile, Rich, a 53-year-old freelance marketing consultant, said he was shocked that in the 2¹/₂ months since his son Aristotle’s July 20 blood test, absolutely no abatement work has been done.

Only after The Post called with questions did the city set an Oct. 3 date for abatement to begin.

“They haven’t called me to confirm yet, but I’ll be here,” Rich said when told of the date by The Post.

Meanwhile, Aristotle suffers from delayed speech and walking, for which the city is now providing therapists.

“We don’t let him play in certain areas,” Rich said. “We have to be very eyes-on. I guess every parent has to be. But we have to make sure he’s not sucking on something.

“All his toys we have to wash them every day. We have to mop every day. We have to make sure there’s no dust on the floor.

“I’m freaked out every day,” Rich said. “You say to yourself, ‘God, he’s living in a lead-powder keg.’

“Every wall here has lead.”
