Why lead paint risk concentrates in East Syracuse
East Syracuse grew up around the railroad in the late 1800s, and much of its housing was built for rail and industrial workers well before lead paint was restricted.
Homes built before lead paint was restricted in 1978 can still have it on walls, trim, windows, and doors, and the risk grows as paint ages and deteriorates. That is why a professional inspection, test, or risk assessment is a sensible first step for many East Syracuse property owners, especially where young children live.

Because the EPA reports that homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and pre-1950 homes are the most likely to, East Syracuse's older housing makes a professional inspection worthwhile for many owners.
