S 4004 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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 in New Jersey. The office will be overseen by a board appointed by state officials and the Commissioner of Community Affairs, which can authorize special strike teams to address serious or repeated code violations in specific municipalities. These strike teams will consist of state, municipal, and public health officials who conduct inspections of buildings with multiple complaints. Additionally, the office will establish a data-sharing system to track repeat violators and share information with municipalities to help target enforcement efforts.
