The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is reminding municipalities that P.L. 2021, c.182, which requires inspections for lead-based paint hazards to be performed on certain pre-1978 single-family, two-family, and multiple-rental dwellings, must be completed and documentation submitted to DCA by no later than July 22, 2024, or upon tenant turnover, whichever is earlier.
Municipalities that have a permanent construction enforcement agency are required to perform the inspections themselves, and municipalities that do not must contract with a vendor who is certified by DCA for the inspections. Municipalities can submit inspection documentation through the online portal by visiting the Municipal Lead Reporting Portal.
More information on the Law and its requirements, including information concerning the rental properties that must be inspected can be found on the DCA’s website.
