[Ord. 6 S+FG, 11-5-1992 § 14:2A-2]
When it has been determined that a child has elevated blood lead level as defined in the Center for Disease Controls' Statement "Preventing Lead Poisoning in Young Children," within two days after such findings have been reported to the Health Officer, the dwelling unit in which the child resides may be inspected by a representative of the Department and a minimum of two paint samples of chewable surfaces and sidewalls below a four foot level may be collected from each room and submitted to a laboratory certified by the New Jersey State Department of Health to ascertain the lead content by weight calculated as metallic lead.
The physical determination of the lead content of paint may also be made by nondestructive measurements using radio isotope x-ray fluorescent analyzers (X-R-F) or other instruments approved by the State Department of Health. Lead content in paint in excess of 1.0 mgs. per square centimeter of paint surface when tested by this method shall be in violation.
[Ord. 6 S+FG, 11-5-1992 § 14:2A-4]
Within the dwelling unit, all lead paint shall be removed to the base or bare surface from all chewable surfaces and sidewalls that are below a four-foot level and these surfaces shall be made impervious, durable, nonabsorbent, tight and in good repair; also, these surfaces shall be finished with a suitable non-lead paint thereby rendering these surfaces clean and washable. In lieu of removing lead paint from chewable surfaces and sidewalls below a four-foot level, these surfaces may be covered up to a level of at least four feet, by an impervious, durable, nonabsorbent, tight material that is in good repair and does not contain more than 1% lead by weight, calculated as metallic lead, and is approved by the Department, thereby rendering the surface clean and washable. Repainting a chewable surface or a sidewall below a four-foot level with a non-lead paint without completely removing all the existing lead paint to the base or bare surface shall not be deemed to be in satisfactory compliance with this chapter.
[Ord. 6 S+FG, 11-5-1992 § 14:2A-5]
All other surfaces shall be impervious, durable, nonabsorbent, tight and in good repair, and, if painted, finished with a non-lead paint.
[Ord. 6 S+FG,. 11-5-1992 § 14:2A-6]
a. 
Tight lead paint shall be removed to the base surface in the following areas, as indicated:
1. 
Window sills: complete removal;
2. 
Windows and frames below the four-foot level complete removal on exposed surfaces;
3. 
Doors below four-foot level: removal four inches back on hinge and latch edges and other sharp edges;
4. 
Door frames below four-foot level: complete removal;
5. 
Handrails: complete removal;
6. 
Spindles ("balusters"): removal on surfaces adjacent to walking areas;
7. 
Stair treads: removal four inches back from lip on top of tread and from lip to riser on bottom side; and
8. 
Any other chewable surface below the four-foot level: removal four inches back from edge.
[Ord.6 S+FG, 11-5-1992 § 14:2A-6.1]
a. 
Removal may be performed, but is not required, on the following surfaces:
1. 
Walls in good condition without broken areas;
2. 
Baseboards;
3. 
Skirtboards on staircases;
4. 
Step risers; or

Any surface below the four-foot level which does not present a chewable surface.
[Ord. 6 S+FG, 11-5-1992 § 14:2A-6.2]
If paint is not removed as required in this chapter surfaces shall be covered with plasterboard, wallboard, wood paneling or similar durable material approved by the New Jersey State Department of Health, Accident Prevention and Poison Control Program, to a height of at least for four feet above the floor. Any construction permit required pursuant to the Uniform Construction Code Act, N.J.S. 52:23-119 et seq., and the Uniform Construction Code, N.J.A.C. 5:23, shall be obtained from the agency having jurisdiction.
[Ord. 6 S+FG, 11-5-1992 § 14:2A-7]
When it has been determined that a lead painted surface exists below a four-foot level, or that surfaces are not impervious, durable, nonabsorbent, tight and in good repair, a notice or order shall be served to the owner.
