A 3291 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits certain demolitions without inspection for pest infestation.

New Jersey's bill A3291 requires a pest inspection and certification before demolishing a building if another building exists within 10 feet on a different property. The inspection, conducted by a health officer or certified pest control professional, must confirm no severe pest infestation (like rats, mice, or roaches) exists that could spread to nearby buildings; if pests are found, they must be eliminated before demolition can proceed. This requirement does not apply if no nearby building exists or if the structure poses an immediate collapse risk. The demolition permit applicant must cover the cost of the inspection and any necessary pest control, with certifications filed 5 days before permit issuance.
