Establishes Office of Interagency Cooperation in DCA to enhance local level code enforcement.
This bill creates a new Office of Interagency Cooperation within the Department of Community Affairs to improve local code enforcement across New Jersey. The office will be overseen by a board appointed by state leaders and will have the authority to form special "strike teams" in municipalities facing severe or repeated code violations. These teams will consist of state, municipal, and public health officials working together to inspect buildings with acute complaints. Additionally, the bill mandates the creation of a data-sharing dashboard to track repeat violators and allows the office to share information with local governments to target enforcement efforts.
