For years, New Jersey required lead inspections for larger apartment buildings. But one- and two-unit rentals? They slipped through the cracks. Families in smaller rentals were still getting exposed. Children were still getting poisoned. In 2021,Governor Murphy signed the Lead Safe Certification Act. In 2022, the law was updated to close the loophole. Now, every pre-1978 rental unit in New Jersey must be inspected. Not just big buildings. The duplex down the street. The single-family home you rent out. The small property you thought was exempt. The law catches up. Fines for non-compliance can reach $1,000 per week.
The state is not waiting. Neither should you.
