- How We Work
A Full Risk Assessment
When you book with CNY Lead Testing LLC, an EPA-Certified Risk Assessor will conduct a comprehensive, top-to-bottom inspection of your property:
Full Visual Inspection (Interior & Exterior):
Identifies deteriorated paint, friction surfaces (windows, doors), and high-risk areas.
Paint Testing (XRF & Paint Chips):
Using the SciAps X-550 XRF Analyzer for instant, non-destructive results. Paint chip sampling where necessary for lab confirmation.
Lead in Dust (Wipe Sampling):
Floors, windowsills, and other surfaces where children may come into contact.
Lead in Water:
Following EPA guidelines: after 8+ hours of non-use, samples collected at taps & fixtures to check for lead in plumbing.
Lead in Soil:
Samples collected from dripline, play areas, and gardens. Composite samples for wider coverage if needed.
Why It Matters
Under the City of Syracuse Code of Ordinances, Chapter 54, every pre-1978 rental unit must undergo a Residential Visual and Dust Wipe Inspection to qualify for a Rental Registry Certificate. Without passing dust wipe testing, landlords cannot rent or renew their property legally.
Lead dust is invisible, but it can seriously harm children under 6. The law requires landlords to meet EPA and HUD clearance standards to protect tenants — and avoid costly delays.
What Landlords Need to Prepare
Thorough Cleaning – Wet-clean floors, windowsills, and window troughs (no dry sweeping).
Unit Access – Make sure inspectors can enter all required rooms and common areas.
Window Functionality – Ensure windows open/close properly; troughs and sills are frequent sample sites.
No Recent Renovation Dust – Avoid testing right after painting or sanding.
Meet Clearance Levels – Floors ≤10 µg/ft², Sills ≤100 µg/ft², Troughs ≤400 µg/ft².
Failing means re-cleaning and re-testing — costing landlords time, tenants’ trust, and extra fees.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Homes built before 1978 often contain lead-based paint, dust, soil, or plumbing. Even small exposures can cause serious, lifelong developmental harm in children under 6.
