Enhances penalties upon corporate violators of housing codes.
This bill increases penalties for corporations violating housing codes in New Jersey. It raises fines for corporations to up to three times the standard maximum (capped at $10,000), allows courts to request the Attorney General to dissolve corporations or revoke charters for repeated violations, and requires a 30-day cure period for owners facing fines over $1,250. The bill also strengthens repeat offender penalties by mandating additional fines for violations within one year of a previous fine. It directly affects corporations operating in housing, not individual residents.
