IMPORTANT: Listing your property on NJHousing.gov IS NOT the same as registering your property with the State of New Jersey Lead Registry. Read Below for descriptions and definitions.
There are three lead-safe certificates (lead-free, lead-free interior, lead-hazard free) issued by State-certified Lead Evaluation Contractors. In New Jersey, Lead Evaluation Contractors are certified to perform lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments. Owners interested in acquiring a certificate can call an Evaluation Contractor for information. A list of certified Evaluation Contractors is available via Lead Hazard Abatement Program site or by calling 1-609-633-6224. Evaluation Contractors have also been advised about specific reporting requirements for all the certificates that they issue. Reporting requirements take effect July 1, 2005. A State web site will be available soon.
