Lead Inspection Requirements in Bergen County Rental Properties
New Jersey’s Lead Safe Certification law (P.L. 2021, c.182) requires many rental units built before 1978 to undergo periodic lead hazard inspections.
Inspections are commonly required:

- Every three years, depending on certification status
- When required through local municipal rental licensing enforcement
Bergen County communities such as Hackensack, Teaneck, Ridgewood, Paramus, Englewood, and Fair Lawn contain a significant number of older rental properties where lead compliance is an important priority.
