Lead Inspection Requirements in Cape May 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:

  • At tenant turnover
  • Every three years, depending on certification status
  • When required through municipal rental licensing or enforcement programs

Cape May County communities such as Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, and Lower Township include older housing stock and high-turnover rentals where lead compliance is an important priority.
