New Jersey S2661 requires owners of residential buildings constructed before 1979 to obtain a construction permit before painting or removing existing paint from the building’s exterior if lead paint is present. The enforcing agency must determine if the paint may contain lead, either through inspection or by reviewing records. If lead is detected, the owner must hire a certified contractor for sanding or scraping.
