S 2208 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires owners of multiple dwellings with at least nine units to provide certain maintenance services; permits municipalities to require owners of multiple dwellings with six to eight units to provide these services.

This bill requires owners of multi-unit buildings with nine or more dwelling units to provide specific maintenance services, including daily cleaning of common areas, snow and ice removal from walkways, waste disposal management, and heating equipment operation. It also allows municipalities to extend these same requirements to buildings with six to eight units. Owners must designate a person or provider (who can be a resident owner, on-site staff, or an off-site provider within 200 feet) and post their contact information prominently. The bill codifies current regulations for larger buildings and gives local governments authority to apply similar rules to smaller properties. (Note: This bill was introduced on January 13, 2026, and is pending in committee; it is not yet law.)
