Lead Information

As of July 1, 2022, the State of NJ passed a law requiring municipalities to inspect residential dwellings for lead based paint hazards prior to occupancy.  This measure is intended to prevent childhood lead poisoning caused by deteriorated paint surfaces in residential rental dwellings.  Please contact the Township Offices for further information about this requirement.
