Notes

No dedicated lead-safe program webpage found; Code Enforcement Officer (Donald Warnet) is the contact for rental/lead compliance matters. Fee and inspector-type for lead-specific inspections not confirmed within time budget.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of Little Falls 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.
