Full DCA Statement
The Bureau of Housing Inspection administers the New Jersey Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law (N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq.) (hereafter called “The Act”). The Bureau is responsible for ensuring that hotels and multiple-family buildings of three or more dwelling units operating within the State of New Jersey are properly maintained and do not threaten the general health, safety, and welfare of their residents or the community.
To achieve these objectives, the Act requires that the Bureau conduct a five-year cyclical inspection of these properties. The Bureau has thereby been given the authority to enforce the New Jersey Regulations for the Maintenance of Hotels and Multiple Dwellings and, where applicable, Subchapter 4 of the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code by issuing citations for the violation of these requirements.
Under this Act, Condominiums, Cooperatives, and Mutual Housing Corporations fall within the definition of multiple dwellings and, as such, are subject to its provisions. Under the Regulations, the Condominium Association, Cooperative, or Mutual Housing Corporation is generally considered to have the responsibilities of the “owner” as described in the Act and is responsible for the registration of each building and for the correction of all cited violations.
