[Amended 8-13-2019 by Ord. No. 19-19]
A.
Upon change of occupancy: All buildings, structures and units thereof that are leased or rented, regardless of the term, in the Township of Jackson shall be inspected by the Code Enforcement Official on every initial occupancy or change of occupancy for compliance with the standards set forth in § 233-18.
B.
Periodic: All buildings, structures and units thereof that are leased
or rented in the Township of Jackson shall be inspected by the Code
Enforcement Official once in every three-year period, regardless of
whether a change in occupancy has occurred.
[Amended 8-13-2019 by Ord. No. 19-19]
The owner, rental agent or manager of all buildings, structures
and units thereof subject to inspection pursuant to this chapter shall
be responsible for notifying the Code Enforcement Official, in writing,
that such premises are leased or rented or being offered for lease
or rental so that an inspection or reinspection may occur.
[Amended 8-13-2019 by Ord. No. 19-19]
If, subsequent to the issuance of a rental certificate of occupancy,
the Code Enforcement Official learns or becomes aware of violations
of this article, an inspection shall be made of the subject premises.
If violations are found to exist, then notification, in writing, shall
be given to the owner, rental agent or manager, and said person shall
have 10 days from service of the notice to correct all deficiencies
noted therein. In the event that the same have not been corrected
within 10 days, the rental certificate of occupancy may be revoked
by the Housing Official by mailing a notice of revocation by certified
mail to the owner, rental agent or manager and to the tenant or tenants,
and the premises shall be vacated.
Any person violating or failing to comply with any of the provisions
of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not
more than $500 or imprisonment not to exceed 90 days, or both. Each
day such violation is committed or continues after the first 30 days
shall be deemed to constitute a separate offense for each day and
shall be punishable by an additional fine of not more than $50 per
day. The Township of Jackson may, at its discretion, seek injunctive
relief from a court of competent jurisdiction of the State of New
Jersey.
