The Borough of East Newark has partnered with LEW Environmental to provide a comprehensive solution to ensure compliance with the new NJ law. Borough records  indicate one of your rental properties are impacted by this new law.

N.J.A.C. 5:28A Lead-Based Paint Inspections in Rental Dwelling Units

The new law states that certain rental units in East Newark Borough, built before 1978 are required to have a visual inspection to assess for lead hazards.

Depending on the results of the visual inspection, a lead safe certification will be issued which is proof of compliance with the regulation. The Lead-Safe Certification will be valid for a two-year period. If a tenant turnover occurs after the expiration of the certificate, another inspection is required. If there is no tenant turnover, then another inspection is required one year after the certificate expires (three years after the initial inspection).

Property owners with multiple unit buildings who have been registered with the DCA more than 10 years should speak with a member of LEW Environmental's staff prior to scheduling your inspection to see if your units qualify for an exemption.

Property owners that fail to comply with the new inspection requirements may be subject to a penalty of up to $1,000 per week.
