New Jersey A4247 requires a construction permit and inspections for work involving lead paint on home exteriors built before 1979.

New Jersey A4247 mandates that owners of residential buildings constructed before 1979 obtain a construction permit before painting or removing existing paint from the building’s exterior if lead paint is present. The enforcing agency must inspect the work site at least twice during the expected times of work to ensure compliance with the permit application, the presence of a certified contractor, and adherence to lead safe maintenance work standards. The bill limits the permit fee to $50 but allows fees for other types of permits to be increased if necessary.
