New Jersey's Lead-Safe Housing Registry

“New! Interactive Lead-Safe Housing Registry Map”

The purpose of the Registry is to supply a list from which lead-safe housing can be easily identified, and through which the State's progress in rendering housing lead hazard controlled may be tracked.

The Registry will be updated regularly as the lead-safe status of housing is verified. Registry housing will be placed into one of four categories:

a. lead-free, which shall include any housing constructed after 1977 and housing certified
to be free of lead- based paint by a lead evaluation contractor licensed in accordance with
N.J.A.C. 5:17;
b. lead-abated, including housing where lead-based paint hazards have been permanently
abated in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:17;
c. lead-hazard controlled, including housing in which preventative maintenance practices
and interim controls have been implemented in accordance with a State or local property maintenance code; or
d. lead-free interior, which shall include housing certified to have a lead-free interior by a
lead evaluation contractor licensed in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:17.

This posting of the registry includes information received as of 2/1/2011.

Advisory For Housing categorized as Lead-Abated: The housing units listed on the Registry have all undergone abatement treatments to control or eliminate lead-based paint hazards. At the completion of lead abatement work, all units achieved the clearance standards in effect at the time, as promulgated by the USEPA and adopted by the State of New Jersey under its “Lead Hazard Evaluation and Abatement Code,” N.J.A.C. 5:17. Given the effects of normal deterioration or the effects of conducting activities like repair work which disturb paint, no warrantee can be made as to the current level of lead-safety of paint, household dust or soil.
