Lead Inspection Requirements in Salem 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

Salem County communities such as Salem City, Pennsville Township, Carneys Point, Alloway, Elsinboro, and Pittsgrove include older housing stock where lead compliance remains an important priority.
