New Jersey Lead Law Update (FAQ Series): How Do I Know If My Property Needs To Be Lead Safe Certified?

Written By Adam K

We are regularly receiving questions regarding the new Lead Law and have created a weekly “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQ’s) forum for you as you desire to become more informed of the Lead Law and its complexity.

This week we are featuring a common question: 

Question:  How do I know if my rental property needs to be lead safe certified?

Answer:  All Single Family Homes and 2-Family (Duplex) rental properties that were built prior to 1978 must be lead safe certified.  Each county has a record of when your property was built.

Triplexes and Multi-Unit Complexes may be exempt depending on their cyclical inspection status with the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and Bureau of Housing Inspection.


We hope this information is useful/of interest to you and appreciate your continued business.
