Pursuant to P.L. 2021, C.182, dwelling owners/landlords of certain single family, two-family, and multiple rental dwellings are required to provide a lead-safe certification by July 22, The City of Camden has over 130,000 rental dwellings and approximately 6,000 of these units are required to have the initial lead-based paint inspections completed by July 22, 2024

Therefore, the City of Camden will contract with approximately four (4) certified lead evaluation contractors to assist in meeting this deadline and to perform inspections of certain single-family, two-family, and multiple rental dwellings for lead-based paint hazards every three years or upon tenant turnover where there is no valid lead safe certification. The City’s retained lead evaluation contractor must be certified by the Department of Community Affairs to perform lead inspections and risk assessment work pursuant to NJAC 5:17.  This includes the ability to perform dust wipe sampling.
