NYS Attorney General Letitia James has secured a settlement with Syracuse landlords after an investigation found dangerous lead hazards in their properties.

04/20/2026

For years, our families have been crying out for help while our children — especially Black and brown children — were being poisoned in the very homes meant to protect them,” said Oceanna Fair, Chair of Families for Lead Freedom Now. “This settlement is more than a legal action; it is a recognition of the harm our community has carried and a reminder that our children’s lives cannot be treated as disposable. Families for Lead Freedom Now stands with every parent who fought through fear, illness, and silence. We thank Attorney General James for hearing our voices and taking action, and we will keep organizing until every child in Syracuse has a safe home and a fair chance at a healthy future.”
