New Jersey lead-safe housing
Start with the right inspection for your property.
Certain non-exempt older rental properties are subject to New Jersey’s lead-based paint inspection requirements. The inspection method varies by municipality and property circumstances. A visual assessment and dust wipe sampling are different methods, and a lead-safe certificate is different from a lead-free certificate.
For Morris County homeowners, landlords, and managers who want to understand the process and prepare their property before an inspector arrives.
Check your existing documents and confirm current requirements with your municipality before relying on a previous inspection. The New Jersey DCA rental inspection guidance explains the state program.

Your questions, answered
Morris County inspection FAQ
Do all Morris County rentals need the same inspection?
No. The municipality, property age, exemptions, and existing certificates can affect the requirement. Start with your town rather than assuming one method applies throughout Morris County. We can discuss the unit and help you identify the next step before you arrange access.
Can you help with a purchase or renovation?
Yes. Tell us whether you need to understand painted surfaces, settled dust, or broader property conditions. XRF testing and dust wipe sampling answer different questions. Discuss your planned work or purchase timeline so the inspection can focus on what you need to know.
What does an inspection cost?
Visual assessment inspections start at $200 per unit. Dust wipe inspections start at $200 per unit, plus laboratory fees per sample. Ask us to confirm the scope and total cost for your property before booking. Lead overview and pre-inspection guidance are free.
What should I send before booking in Morris County?
Send the street address, municipality, number of units, reason for testing, and any deadline. Include existing reports or certificates if you have them. If a rental has a private driveway, detached entrance, or a tenant in a separate unit, provide directions and arrange access in advance. Keep previous testing documents available for discussion.
Will my property automatically receive a lead-safe certificate?
A certificate depends on the applicable inspection and its findings. Booking a visit does not guarantee a passing result. If hazards are identified, we explain the findings and discuss the next steps, including remediation referrals when appropriate.
