Requires inspection for pest infestation prior to certain demolitions.

This bill requires pest inspections before demolishing buildings in New Jersey to prevent pests like rats and roaches from spreading to nearby properties. It mandates that a certified health officer or pesticide applicator inspect the site and issue a clearance certificate confirming no severe infestation exists, with the demolition applicant responsible for all associated costs. The inspection must occur at least two months before a demolition permit is issued, though it is waived if the building is structurally unsafe and poses an immediate collapse risk. Local officials retain the authority to reject a certification if they believe the initial inspection was insufficient, requiring further mitigation steps before work can proceed.
