Comprehensive Lead Risk Assessment & Clearance for Commercial & Multi-Unit Properties
For commercial buildings and apartment complexes—especially those in Syracuse’s older housing stock—lead-based paint and dust present serious health and regulatory risks. CNY Lead Testing LLC offers expert risk assessments and post-abatement clearance testing, ensuring your property meets HUD, EPA, and local Rental Registry standards, while safeguarding your residents and investments.
Why It Matters: HUD & Local Requirements
• HUD Regulation Compliance: Risk assessments and clearance testing are essential for HUD-assisted housing, ensuring safety and funding eligibility.
• Syracuse Rental Registry Ordinance: Rental properties in designated high‑risk areas must submit dust wipe samples every three years—or upon non-renewal of the Certificate of Compliance—even without visible paint deterioration.
• New York State Lead Rental Registry: Starting November 2025, Syracuse is part of approximately 25 identified “communities of concern” where pre‑1980 multi-unit rentals must be certified lead-safe every three years, with inspection results submitted to a state registry. Compliance will include proactive risk assessments, remediation when needed, and certification renewal documented with local health authorities.
Our Risk Assessment & Clearance Process
1. Targeted Risk Assessment – We evaluate a percentage of units (as often required by HUD) plus common areas. Our EPA-Certified Assessors identify hazards in paint, dust, soil, and water.
2. Abatement Guidance – If lead hazards are found, we develop remediation plans in line with lead-safe work practices.
3. Clearance Testing – After abatement, we conduct dust wipe clearance testing to confirm the property is safe for re-occupancy and that all hazards were addressed.
4. Compliance Documentation – We provide comprehensive reports and certification letters required by HUD programs, Syracuse’s Rental Registry, and eventual New York State Rental Registry mandates.
