Hudson County packs more rental units per block than anywhere in the state: Jersey City brownstones, Union City and West New York walk-ups, Bayonne two-families. Most of it went up long before 1978, which puts nearly every rental under NJ's lead-safe certification law.
The math that matters here is unit count. A six-unit walk-up at a typical NJ inspector's $300 to $600 per unit is a four-figure invoice before the lab fees. The same building with us runs $125 to $150 per unit, lab included. On dense Hudson County buildings that gap compounds fast.
High turnover works against owners here too. Every tenant turnover restarts the certification clock on that unit, so buildings with active churn need an inspector who can come back without a six-week lead time.
