Notes

Borough ordinance confirms the same inspection deadlines as state law (initial inspection by July 2, 2022 or tenant turnover, whichever earlier; then every 3 years or turnover). The specific dollar fee is set via the Borough Fee Schedule (Code Chapter 206) adopted by Council resolution and was not published inline in the searchable ordinance text — could not confirm the exact amount within time budget.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of River Edge 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.
