A 5755 New Jersey General Assembly · 2022-2023 Regular Session

Enhances notice requirements and occupancy restrictions for hotels and multiple dwellings following determination of potentially hazardous condition.

This bill strengthens safety rules for hotels and multi-unit buildings in New Jersey when hazardous conditions are identified. It requires owners to provide written notice to occupants before restricting occupancy and sets clear limits on how many people can stay during repairs or hazards. The law directly affects hotel owners (buildings with 10+ units or 25+ sleeping spaces) and multiple dwelling owners (buildings with 3+ independently occupied units). Key provisions include standardized notice procedures and occupancy restrictions to protect residents until hazards are resolved, as defined under New Jersey's housing code.
