Notes

Ordinance text (ecode360) states 'the Township's lead inspector shall inspect every single-family, two-family, or multiple rental dwelling... through visual assessment'; page does not mention an owner-hired-contractor alternative, though state law generally requires municipalities permit it. Contacts: Alissa Visalli (Housing Inspection Coordinator), Mark Goggin (Housing Inspector) ext 135. Office: 400 Crown Point Road.

Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too

Regardless of West Deptford 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.
