Why lead paint is a real concern in older Syracuse homes
Syracuse and Onondaga County have some of the oldest housing in the country. In the City of Syracuse, roughly 4 in 10 homes were built before 1940, and across Onondaga County the median home dates to around 1961 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey). That matters because age is the single biggest predictor of lead paint.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and homes built before 1950 are the most likely to contain it and at the highest levels. Lead exposure is a particular risk for young children. When you need lead paint removal in Syracuse, the right first step is a professional inspection or risk assessment by a qualified contractor.
We make that first step simple. Onondaga Lead Services connects you with an independent, licensed contractor who can inspect, test, or address lead hazards in your property. We do not perform the work ourselves, and we never charge you to be connected.

Frequently asked questions
Does Onondaga Lead Services perform lead inspection or abatement?
No. We are a marketing and lead generation service. We connect Syracuse and Onondaga County property owners with independent, licensed, EPA-certified lead paint contractors. All inspection, testing, and abatement work is performed by those independent contractors, not by us.
Which homes are most likely to have lead paint?
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and homes built before 1950 are the most likely to contain it and at higher levels. Much of the housing in Syracuse and Onondaga County predates 1978, which is why lead paint is a common local concern.
How much does the connection cost me?
Using our form to be connected with a licensed contractor is free. The contractor you are matched with can provide a free, no-obligation inspection or quote. You decide whether to move forward.
Is the contractor I am matched with licensed and certified?
We connect you with contractors who hold current EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) certification where the work requires it, or New York State lead abatement licensing for abatement-scope work, and who carry liability insurance. The contractor holds those credentials; we do not.
I am a landlord. Can you help with rental lead requirements?
Yes. We can connect you with a contractor who helps landlords meet lead-safe rental requirements in New York and the City of Syracuse. We do not guarantee compliance; the contractor performs the work and the obligations rest with the property owner.
What if my child may have been exposed to lead?
That is a health matter, not something we handle. Contact your physician or the EPA National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD, and reach out to the Onondaga County Health Department lead program. We are a marketing service and do not provide medical or safety advice.
