Inspection Documentation can be Submitted Through a New Online Portal
Trenton, NJ – 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.
