A 1102 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits entry on adjoining property to make improvements or repairs in certain situations.

This bill allows property owners or tenants to legally enter adjacent land for necessary repairs or improvements without the neighbor's permission, under strict conditions. To qualify, they must first request permission (and be denied), notify local law enforcement, post a $1,000 bond to cover potential damage, and limit work to no more than eight hours per day or 30 days total per year. The owner must also work carefully to avoid damage, restore the land to its original condition, and avoid storing materials on the neighbor's property. It directly affects property owners needing urgent repairs that require access across boundaries, while protecting neighbors through the bond and time restrictions. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
