The Lead-Based Paint Inspection Law NJ & NY

The Lead-based Paint Inspection Law [ NJ: P.L.2021, c.182 ] and [ NY: Local Law 31 ] addresses lead-based paint hazards in residential rental property and establishes lead-based paint hazard control work programs.

So, what does this Lead Safe Certification law require of a property owner?

If you rent a pre-1978 property in NJ & NY that does not qualify for one of several exemptions, as of July 2022, you are required to have a lead-paint inspection (interiors, common areas and [exteriors / out buildings in certain conditions]) upon tenancy turnover of each unit or every three years, which ever happens first. You must obtain a Lead Safe Certification or Lead-Free Certification to rent a pre-1978 property.
  • Lead-SAFE Certification is issued where, upon inspection, a lead paint hazard(s) is/are found on the property by state certified professional but is safely treated and requires no further action at the time of inspection or occupancy turn-over. This certification type is only good for two years and will expire.
  • Lead-FREE Certification is issued where, upon inspection, no lead paint is found anywhere on the property by a state certified professional (with Handheld / portable X-ray fluorescent (XRF) analyzers). This certification type is good for the life of the property and does not expire unless a lead-based paint illness is reported to the State.

If you have not tested for lead based paint and the property is pre-1978 original construction, the law states you must assume all interior and exterior paint on the property is lead-based paint.
