Notes

News coverage found describes Red Bank's lead-based paint inspection ordinance as still undergoing final Council revisions at the time of reporting; no live official borough webpage confirming a finalized, adopted fee schedule was found within the time budget — treat these fee figures as reported-but-possibly-preliminary and verify against the borough's currently adopted code.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of Red Bank Borough'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.
