With the warmer temperatures, many homeowners begin home maintenance projects like painting. Before scraping and power washing, homeowners should be aware of lead paint hazards. Chances are homes built before 1978 used paint containing lead. Lead is a highly toxic metal that may cause a range of health problems, especially in young children. The City of Syracuse has programs and grants available to help homeowners, renters, and landlords to abate and contain lead hazards in homes.
