Essex County — lead-safe rental certification under P.L.2021, c.182, as amended by P.L.2024, c.74.
Township page offers scheduling through LEW Environmental Services (Township's designated program) and separately links the NJDCA list of Certified Lead Evaluation Contractors for owners who prefer their own. Fee not disclosed on page (neighboring East Orange charges $295/unit via LEW, for reference only — not verified for West Orange).
Statewide 3-year certification rule applies here too
Regardless of West Orange 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.
