August 16, 2006: In May of 2005, New
Jersey adopted regulations requiring the lead safe
maintenance of multiple dwellings constructed prior to 1978
Lead based paint presents a serious problem in a large
portion of New Jersey’s housing stock. N.J.A.C.
5:10-6.6 designates certain responsibilities to the
property owners of multiple dwellings, among them:
On-going evaluation and maintenance: A visual
examination for deteriorated paint shall be performed by the
owner at unit turnover or every twelve months, whichever
comes first. Deteriorated paint and the causes of
deterioration shall be promptly and safely repaired. The
causes of paint deterioration shall be diagnosed and
corrected. Dust wipe testing shall be performed when the
work is complete to ensure that the lead dust levels do not
exceed established levels.
Training Requirements: All owners or employees of
the owner performing visual examinations or undertaking
corrective action or maintenance work shall complete a
one‑day training course on safe building maintenance
practices and applicable New Jersey law offered by an
approved training provider.
Lead Safe Work Practices: All work undertaken to
repair or stabilize deteriorated paint and any other work
that will disturb painted surfaces shall be performed by
individuals who have met the training requirements stated
above. After the completion of any lead safe work, wipe
samples must be collected by trained staff to determine that
dust levels do not exceed standard levels.
