New Jersey lead rules in brief
- Who runs the program: The NJ Department of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards, implements P.L. 2021, c. 182 (rules at N.J.A.C. 5:28A) on periodic lead-based paint inspections of rental dwellings. Municipalities perform the inspections or hire a certified lead evaluation contractor, and landlords may hire one directly. (P.L. 2021, c. 182; N.J.A.C. 5:28A) source
- Renovation and abatement rules: New Jersey is not on EPA's list of states authorized to run their own RRP program, so EPA runs the RRP program there, and it has an EPA-authorized lead-based paint (abatement, inspection and risk assessment) program. (TSCA sections 402 and 404; 40 CFR Part 745) source
- State rule to know: New Jersey requires certain single-family, two-family and multiple rental dwelling units to be inspected for lead-based paint hazards every three years or at tenant turnover, whichever is earlier, with exemptions for newer buildings. (P.L. 2021, c. 182; N.J.A.C. 5:28A (adopted May 1, 2023)) source
