NJ S2208

Owners of multiple dwellings with nine or more units must provide maintenance services including waste receptacle management, daily common area care, sidewalk and parking area upkeep with snow/ice removal, and heating system operation.

Maintenance services may be performed by a resident owner, resident maintenance staff, or off-site providers located within one block or 200 feet of the building (or providing 24-hour service).

Non-owner maintenance providers share equal responsibility and liability with the owner for compliance and violations.

Owners must post signage alongside the certificate of registration displaying the name, address, and phone number of the designated maintenance provider, with updates required within five days of any changes.

Municipalities may adopt ordinances extending these maintenance requirements to multiple dwellings with six to eight units.
