S 3926 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires lobby security for certain senior citizen high-rise buildings in areas with high violent crime rates.

This bill requires lobby security in certain senior citizen high-rise buildings located in areas with high violent crime rates. It amends existing state laws to mandate that building safety regulations include provisions for securing lobbies and interior common areas. The legislation applies specifically to multiple dwellings housing senior citizens and would require building managers to implement security measures in these designated areas. This change aims to enhance physical safety for elderly residents by addressing security concerns in high-risk locations.
