How do I know what kind of lead paint inspection I need?

How is it determined if a NJ unit/dwelling requires a visual assessment OR dust wipe samplings? It is determined by the state on a town by town basis. Most towns only require a visual inspection. Owners may opt to upgrade to wipe samples or a full Lead-Free inspection at their discretion.
