[Get quotes](https://leadpaintroster.com/get-quotes/?city=syracuse&st=ny) [All Syracuse listings](https://leadpaintroster.com/ny/city/syracuse/) ## Questions to ask * Are you independent of the abatement contractor? * What is your firm certification number, and who will do the inspection (their individual credential)? * Will you do a full inspection (surface by surface), a risk assessment, or both? * Will you use an XRF analyzer, paint chip samples, or dust wipes? * Will the report meet the requirements of the local rental-inspection or lead law? ## New York lead paint rules in brief * New York State does not run its own lead-based paint activities certification. EPA certifies firms and individuals there, and EPA's locator is the official lookup. * In New York City, Local Law 1 of 2004 places lead-paint duties on landlords of older multiple dwellings where young children live. NYC HPD explains the current inspection and XRF-testing requirements. * Lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments in pre-1978 housing must be done by EPA-certified inspectors or risk assessors working for an EPA-certified firm.
