[Adopted 2-10-1986 by Ord. No. 1986-5]
Any landlord required to provide heat to a rental
unit under the provisions of N.J.S.A. 26:3-31 shall also provide for
the emergency heating of any such rental unit or for the alternate
living quarters for any tenants in such unit in the event that there
is any failure to provide the required heat, for any reason, for a
period in excess of four hours. As a minimum, such emergency provisions
shall include the provision of adequate emergency heat in at least
one room of the rented premises.
Any landlord required to file a registration
certificate as provided in N.J.S.A. 46:8-28 with the New Jersey Bureau
of Housing Inspection shall also file a duplicate copy of such certificate
with the Township Clerk. Such certificate and any amendments thereto
shall be filed with the Township Clerk within the same time periods
as provided in N.J.S.A. 46:8-28 et seq.
Any landlord of a multiple dwelling shall be
deemed not to be in compliance with the registration required under
N.J.S.A. 46:8-28 if the landlord or his agent can not be reached at
the emergency number within one hour after being called. An agent
of the landlord shall be one who has the authority to take corrective
action.
The Township Clerk shall send a notice to the
designated oil supplier listed in the registration statement that
he has been so designated as the supplier for the particular premises
covered by the registration statement and shall require said supplier
to notify the Township if he is not willing to provide fuel oil and
burner services to the landlord on normal billing or if such becomes
the case at any time after the filing of the registration statement.
In the event that any rental unit covered under
this article is without heat for a period in excess of four hours
and either attempts to contact the landlord or his agent have been
unsuccessful or in the event that the landlord has failed to take
or institute remedial action, the Township shall have the authority
to take such action as is necessary to provide heat to such units,
as required by N.J.S.A. 26:3-31, from the designated oil service company
and have the oil service company bill the landlord for such service.
Any person found in violation of this article
shall be subject to the penalties as defined under the provisions
of N.J.S.A. 26:3-31.7.
