HUD & NYS Compliance Highlight

Staying compliant isn’t optional—it’s the law. HUD requires lead inspections in all assisted housing units, ensuring vulnerable populations are protected from lead hazards. In addition, the New York State Lead Rental Registry mandates that rental properties be lead-certified every three years. Our team helps you meet these requirements with accurate inspections, clear documentation, and timely recertification—keeping your property safe, compliant, and liability-free.

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.
