Why Lead Paint Inspections Matter in Syracuse & Central New York
In Syracuse and across Central New York, many properties were built before 1978, when lead-based paint was still widely used. As this paint ages, it deteriorates into dust and chips that can be easily ingested or inhaled, posing significant health risks to children and families. Lead dust is especially dangerous when created at friction points such as windows, doors, stairs, and floors, where painted surfaces rub or strike together. Visual inspections by EPA-certified risk assessors identify these hazards before they cause harm, ensuring compliance with HUD, EPA, and local municipal standards. For landlords, property managers, and community organizations, professional inspections help avoid costly fines and ensure safe housing for tenants. In Central New York, where rental housing is common and community buildings are aging, lead paint inspections are essential to protect public health and maintain compliance. At CNY Lead Testing LLC, we provide thorough visual inspections, detailed reporting, and remediation strategies tailored to Syracuse and surrounding communities. With one phone call, property owners can schedule inspections that deliver peace of mind, regulatory protection, and a healthier environment for all.
