Requires lobby security for certain senior citizen high-rise buildings in areas with high violent crime rates.
This bill requires owners of senior citizen high-rise buildings (50+ units) in New Jersey municipalities with violent crime rates exceeding six per 1,000 people to provide 24-hour security. For buildings with 75+ units, this must include on-site security guards; for 50-74 unit buildings, 24-hour video surveillance of entrances, exits, and common areas (where crimes occurred in the past year) is acceptable. The Commissioner of Community Affairs must annually notify affected building owners and may require security in lower-crime areas if persistent crimes against residents are documented. The law applies to retirement communities classified as "multiple dwellings" under existing housing regulations.
