S 1769 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires lobby security for certain senior citizen high-rise buildings in areas with high violent crime rates.

This bill requires security measures for lobbies and interior common areas in high-rise buildings housing senior citizens located in areas with high violent crime rates. It amends existing New Jersey building safety regulations to explicitly include "security of residents in lobbies and interior common areas" as a required standard. The law applies directly to senior residents in qualifying high-rises, mandating that building owners comply with these security provisions under current safety regulations. The change integrates lobby security into existing maintenance and safety rules without creating new enforcement mechanisms.
