The
unit enforces Lead Hazard Abatement rules in all buildings
and structures undergoing lead hazard abatement. The program
licenses lead evaluation contractors, conducts monitoring
inspections and supports local building departments in
the enforcement of lead hazard abatement rules.
The
New Jersey Department of Community Affairs adopted regulations
for the certification of companies performing lead based
paint evaluation and abatement on July 17, 1995. These
regulations are called the "Lead Hazard Evaluation
and Abatement Code" and they are in the New Jersey
Administrative Code (N.J.A.C. 5:17).
Any
company offering to perform evaluation or abatement in
New Jersey must be certified.
The following listings are
updated periodically. You should contact the Lead Hazard
Abatement Program by telephone at (609) 633-6224 or by
fax at (609) 633-1040 to verify the contractor's certification
status prior to having evaluation or abatement services
performed. |
