Notes

Passing the township's visual assessment yields a Rental Certificate of Inspection valid for 1 year, which is separate from (and shorter than) the 3-year lead-safe certificate cycle under state law — landlords should be aware these are two different renewal clocks.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of Pennsauken 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.
