New Jersey law requires landlords to obtain a Lead-Safe Certification for any rental property built before 1978. Whether you just found out, received a notice, or are preparing ahead of time — the clock is ticking. Non-compliance can mean fines, failed rental renewals, and putting your tenants at risk.

That’s exactly why DJP Lead exists. We work exclusively with NJ landlords, investors, and property managers to make the certification process fast, simple, and fully compliant. No runaround. No confusing paperwork. Just a licensed, experienced inspector who shows up, gets it done, and gets your certification turned around — often the same day you pass.
