lead-based paint hazard Inspection for Oacean Township

Effective May 1, 2024 the Township of Ocean, in accordance with P.L.2021, c.182, (all New Jersey single-family and two- family rental dwellings must be inspected for lead-based paint hazards if the home was built before 1978 and you are renting for a period of 6 months or more.) If you fall into this category please complete this application and submit it along with the fee of $120.00 established by the Township of Ocean Ordinance #2431. This fee includes the mandated fee to the State of New Jersey per application. The only exception would be if you previously received a ‘Lead Free Certificate’ from a licensed company and can present that to the Inspector

This will be another step in the process and the Rental CCO cannot be issued without same being completed and paid for. As a result this will add time to the process. Please allow at least 3 business days for this to be complete. We receive may last minute requests for Rental CCO inspections. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate that with this new law. We thank everyone for their anticipated cooperation and put this out as an FYI so you are prepared for this.

For more information, contact Ocean Township Code Enforcement Administrator, Kenneth J. Pieslak at (732)531.5000 ext 3378
