Getting the certificate in Hi-Nella Borough

  1. Confirm the building was built before 1978 and no exemption applies.
  2. Book the inspection, either through Hi-Nella Borough's own lead inspection program or with a certified lead evaluation firm you hire. If you hire a firm, it sends Hi-Nella Borough a copy of any certificate it issues.

  4. Keep the lead-safe certificate, report each tenant turnover to Hi-Nella Borough, and book the next inspection before the certificate's three years run out.
