§ 55:13a-12.

a. The commissioner shall inspect every single-family and two-family rental dwelling

in accordance with the “Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law,” P.L.1967, c. 76 ( C.55:13A-1 et seq. ), at least once every five years for lead-based paint hazards and shall charge a

fee sufficient to cover the cost of such inspection; provided, however, that the

fee shall not exceed one-third of the inspection fee for a three-unit multiple dwelling,

established pursuant to the “Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law,” P.L.1967, c. 76 ( C.55:13A-1 et seq. ), for each unit inspected. b. Notwithstanding any other provisions of P.L.2007, c. 251 ( C.55:13A-12.2 et al.) to the contrary, a dwelling unit in a single-family or two-family dwelling

shall not be subject to inspection and evaluation for the presence of lead-based paint

hazards, or for the fees for such inspection or evaluation, if the unit: (1) has been certified to be free of lead-based paint; (2) was constructed during or after 1978; or (3) is a seasonal rental unit which is rented for less than six months' duration each

year; or (4) has a valid lead-safe certification issued in accordance with section 1 of P.L.2021, c. 182 ( C.52:27D-437.16 ) . c. The commissioner shall have the power to enforce the corrections of any violations

found pursuant to a lead-based paint hazard inspection conducted pursuant to this

section as if the rental unit were in a multiple dwelling subject to the requirements

of the “Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law,” P.L.1967, c. 76 ( C.55:13A-1 et seq. ).
