Notes

Housing Department (staff: Nicole Fach, Victoria Orr, Joe Tarzaiski, Jesse Manganaro) administers program; inspector type and fee not confirmed within search budget. Certification requires proof of a passed Lead Based Paint Hazard Inspection for pre-1978 units.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of Washington 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.
