New Norristown Township lead cert Requirement

[Sean S.]

Hi All,

I saw that Norristown added a new lead certification requirement. Anyone have experience with this or can recommend anyone? I assume this is mostly a formality as I would assume the majority of lead paint has been painted over so many times by now in those older homes.

Thanks

Norristown recently made this change last year. Lead paint in older homes is extremely hazardous to children the City of Philadelphia has the same program. Landlords are required to get Lead Safe or Lead Free certificates by a licensed lead inspector prior to license renewal. They should have a list of providers the cost is based on how many rooms anywhere between $150-$300.
