Notes

No Edison webpage or codified ordinance for a lead-safe rental inspection program was found. Checked ecode360 Chapters 12, 14, 15 and 17 (2026-03-25 code version); none has a lead-based-paint rental article. The Health Dept. page mentions rental re-occupancy inspections and lead-paint inspections of child care centers but does not address the state lead-safe rental law. Construction Code Enforcement: 732-248-7242.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of Edison Township'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.
