New Regulation for Smoke Detectors in Rental and Resale Units

| Published January 9, 2019

SMOKE DETECTOR INSPECTIONS FOR RENTAL OR RESALE INSPECTIONS

NEW JERSEY STATE FIRE CODE UPDATE: 5:70-4.19(a)

In one- and two-family or attached single family dwellings subject to the requirements of N.J.A.C. 5:70-2.3, (inspection for rental or resale) smoke alarms shall be installed with a ten-year sealed battery-powered single station smoke alarm.

This does not apply to new construction.
