Requires cyclical inspection of parking structures.
This bill requires owners of parking structures in New Jersey to hire a licensed professional engineer every five years to inspect the structure's safety and submit a report to the state Department of Community Affairs (DCA) within 14 days. Owners must ensure inspections meet the structure's original design loads and uses, with the DCA empowered to order closures for non-compliance or failed inspections. The DCA will identify affected structures, notify non-compliant owners, and allow a 30-day grace period to submit reports before enforcement. It directly affects owners of all parking structures, including those in commercial buildings, apartment complexes, and public facilities. The law takes effect four months after enactment, with the DCA required to adopt implementing rules.
