On July 22, 2022, New Jersey P.L. 2021, c.182 took effect, which requires all rental dwellings to be inspected for lead hazards. This law requires inspections of all residential rental units including single-family, two-family, and multiple dwelling units for lead-based paint hazards, unless specifically exempted. Moorestown Township will conduct this inspection unless you elect to hire a certified lead evaluation contractor. Unless exempted, the Owner, or his Responsible Designee, shall be responsible to register the property, as described in Section 142-1 of the Township Code, on forms prepared by the Municipal Lead Inspector. If lead hazards are identified, then the owner must remediate through abatement or interim control measures.
Please contact Community Development at 856 914 3071 or leadsafe@moorestown.nj.us to find out how to comply with this law.
