Essex County — lead-safe rental certification under P.L.2021, c.182, as amended by P.L.2024, c.74.
Municipal code Ch. 209 Art. IV governs lead inspections; landlord/owner may hire the Township's retained lead evaluation contractor or arrange inspection themselves; $250 local fee is in addition to the $20/unit state Lead Hazard Control Assistance Fund fee
Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too
Regardless of Maplewood 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.
