State by State...

LEW Corporation is one of the oldest and most respected environmental companies in the lead-based paint industry and is nationally recognized for its experience and expertise.   We are extremely proud of our good reputation and the fact that our client base of property owners and developers is continually growing and that many of our clients have been with us for over 15 years. We are active and well-respected members of the New Jersey Apartment Association (NJAA), the New Jersey Property Owners Association (POA), the Associated Builders and Owners of Greater New York (ABO) and the Institute of Realty Managers (IREM) as well as many other tri-state property oriented associations.    

It was an opinion of many owners several years ago, that not doing any lead-based paint testing was a benefit, and the philosophy was, “what you did not know, you did not have to disclose, and; therefore, could not hurt you”.   LEW Corporation, loyal to our property owners, understood that position and on many occasions agreed. However, with the implementation of New Jersey’s newest Lead-Based Paint Law, our clients now recognize that the above opinion is certainly not a viable option any more.   Under New Jersey’s new law, what you don’t know can hurt you in many ways.     

By not knowing whether or not your pre-1978 property has lead-based paint, you are now legally obligated to assume ALL surfaces are painted with lead-based paint. As a result, you are now required to pay $20.00 per unit, notify your residents of the new law regularly via a NJ DCA created pamphlet, have your maintenance staff, your outside vendors and all others whom may disturb a painted surface trained and certified in Lead-Safe Work Practices, and maintain all these records and documents for a minimum of 5 years.     EVEN IF YOU COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE, the state can and in many cases will, ORDER PROPERTY OWNERS by means of a violation to HAVE THEIR property lead-based paint tested.

 After 15 years in business and lead testing in tens of thousands of units, we have never tested a multifamily property where every surface was identified as being painted with lead-based paint.   We have issued hundreds of Lead-Based Paint Free certifications and now with the implementation of NJ DCA’s new lead law we have issued numerous Interior Lead-Based Paint Free Certifications exempting many units from the $20.00 per unit administrative fee requirement and many of the regulatory requirements.
