Rental Certificate Compliance Verdict

Lead-safe certificate next steps

Find the next lead-safe certificate or inspection step. Start with your city.

Enter a city like Philadelphia, Cleveland, Newark, Jersey City, or Elizabeth. Then choose what changed at the property so you land on the right filing, inspection, or recovery path.

What changed?

Try Philadelphia renewal, Newark turnover, Cleveland inspector, or Jersey City failed inspection.

Use a city whenever possible. Use New Jersey only when you need the statewide baseline before the local overlay.
