Lead Inspection Requirements in Ocean 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 enforcement programs

Ocean County communities such as Toms River, Lakewood, Brick Township, Jackson, Point Pleasant, Barnegat, and Stafford include older housing stock and active rental markets where lead compliance is an important priority.
