Getting the certificate in Woodbine Borough

  1. Confirm the building was built before 1978 and no exemption applies.
  2. Book the inspection, either through Woodbine Borough's own lead inspection program or with a certified lead evaluation firm you hire. If you hire a firm, it sends Woodbine Borough a copy of any certificate it issues.
  3. If the inspector finds lead hazards, have them fixed (interim controls or abatement) and re-inspected.
  4. Keep the lead-safe certificate, report each tenant turnover to Woodbine Borough, and book the next inspection before the certificate's three years run out.
