Lead-Based Paint Inspections in Rental Dwelling Units

This program implements the requirements of P.L. 2021, c. 182 for the inspection of lead-based paint hazards in certain rental single-family, two-family, and multiple dwelling units.  Regulations are adopted as of May 1, 2023 as N.J.A.C. 5:28A

Dwellings with a valid lead-safe certificate issued pursuant to this law, P.L.2021, c.182 are valid for two years from the date of issuance.

What dwellings are required to be inspected and what dwellings are exempt?

All single-family, two-family, and multiple rental dwellings must be inspected. The following dwellings are exempt:

  • Dwellings that were constructed during or after 1978.
  • Single-family and two-family seasonal rental dwellings which are rented for less than six-months duration each year by tenants that do not have consecutive lease renewals.
  • Dwellings that have been certified to be free of lead-based paint pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:17-3.6(b).
  • Multiple rental dwellings that have been registered with the Department of Community Affairs for at least ten years and have no outstanding lead violations from the most recent cyclical inspection performed on the multiple dwelling under the “Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law” (N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1).
    • This means that all multiple dwellings constructed prior to 1978 and registered with the Department for at least ten years that have a certificate of inspection issued by the Department of Community Affairs, Bureau of Housing Inspection, are exempt from this requirement.
    • A multiple dwelling that has been registered with the Department for at least ten years with an open inspection that has no violations for paint is also exempt from this requirement.
