Essex County — lead-safe rental certification under P.L.2021, c.182, as amended by P.L.2024, c.74.
City partners with LEW Environmental (private DCA-certified lead evaluation contractor) as its designated vendor for the rental lead-safe inspection program. The Certificate of Habitability (required before renting a unit) needs Health Dept. confirmation of no outstanding lead violations. No dedicated official city program page found; fee and vendor details come from the vendor's page, not the city site.
Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too
Regardless of East Orange City's specific process above, the certificate itself is valid three years statewide (P.L.2024, c.74) — not the two years some older DCA guidance still states. See the lead-safe hub for the full statewide timeline, deadlines, and landlord checklist.
